The Allied Production Matrix, established in 1655 AN, was a joint production programme intended to streamline manufacturing output and to focus effort on to a standardised range of vessels, vehicles and weapons platforms, which could then be produced in greater numbers and with more potential for interoperability amongst the allied powers.
Naval production
After the shocking losses endured by both sides during the Battle of Carama Bay, naval production received the highest priority as this was the sector in which the Shirerithians had fallen furthest behind the Jing and the allies were subsequently least well placed to face a war of attrition as resources accumulated by the USSO Joint Command through the USSO Common Market were made operational.

Finance
Although initially, and still predominantly, financed via direct taxation on the part of the Shirerithian and Natopian government, in mid 1656 the decision was made to expand the range of financial mechanisms used to fund the war effort by raising dedicated bonds issued via regional Boards of Trade, the first of which was set up in Elijah's Rest, under the auspices of ESB Group (Keltia), on 13.VIII.1656.
