English term or phrase: to keep the status quo
By using this natural point to break from in-line to near/off-line processing, it is possible to operate all the machines at maximum speed, keeping the status quo by running some machines for a longer time than others or having more devices of one type than another. It also means that existing finishing equipment can continue to be used.

Certamente significa mantenere la situazione così com'è, ma non vedo perchè non si possa lasciarlo così com'è, visto che è espressione corrente della lingua italiana e tradurla mi pare una forzatura.
