Redlining is pushing an engine to its maximum safe operating speed. Most mechanical engineering types and roleplaying gamers will probably know this definition, but it's a little bit specialised and there are other definitions of "redlining" in fields such as loan accounting, document editing, and possibly others. So I thought a little explanatory note here might help, in case of confusion.
And if you were confused, you've now learnt something! Isn't education fun?
This does not sound like the sort of thing I would previously have dismissed as merely "loan accounting". The only other possibly relevant thing I could find was a reference in the book Cost Accounting for Dummies, which states that redlining is "pushing your production activity above the relevant range of production capacity".
