In Solver's terms, the limit on the production of products is called a constraint. Constraints restrict the values that certain cells can take in order to achieve the desired result in the objective cell. The changing cell is the cell that is varied to find the optimal solution, the objective cell is the cell that contains the target value to be maximized or minimized, and the goal cell is another term for the objective cell.
