FEDERAL RESERVE STATISTICAL RELEASE G.17 (419) For release at 9:15 a.m. (EDT) July 15, 2005 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION Industrial production rose 0.9 percent in June, and at 119.7 percent of its 1997 average, it was 3.9 percent higher than its level in June 2004. The increase in June was the largest for the overall index since February 2004; a jump of 5.3 percent in the output of utilities, the result of warmer-than-usual temperatures, accounted for more than one-half of the June gain. Despite last month's large rise, total output advanced only 2.1 percent (annual rate) in the second quarter, the smallest quarterly increase since the second quarter of 2003. Manufacturing output advanced 0.4 percent in June, and the index for manufacturing excluding motor vehicles and parts edged up 0.1 percent. Production at mines rose 0.4 percent. Capacity utilization for total industry rose to 80.0 percent; the rate was 2.2 percentage points above its value in June 2004 but was 1.0 percentage point below its 1972-2004 average. Market Groups ------------- The production of consumer goods rose 1.2 percent in June. The output of durables moved up 1.8 percent, although the index declined 2.5 percent (annual rate) in the second quarter. The output of automotive products rose 2.8 percent in June, its second consecutive monthly increase after declines in March and April. All other major categories of consumer durables advanced in June, though at a slower pace than did automotive products. The production of consumer nondurables rose 1.0 percent in June and increased 3.2 percent (annual rate) in the second quarter. The output of consumer energy products moved up 4.2 percent in June, and the production of non-energy nondurables rose 0.2 percent. Output increased for all major categories of nondurables except clothing. The index for business equipment advanced 0.2 percent in June and moved up at an annual rate of 7.9 percent in the second quarter, its eighth consecutive quarterly rise. The production of transit equipment rose 0.8 percent in June, and the output of information processing equipment advanced 0.4 percent. Although the index for industrial and other equipment fell slightly in June, it increased at an annual rate of 6.2 percent in the second quarter. The production of defense and space equipment rose 1.4 percent in June and was up 11.3 percent from its June 2004 level. The index for construction supplies declined 0.4 percent in June but rose at an annual rate of 2.9 percent in the second quarter. The index for business supplies increased 1.4 percent in June. The production of materials advanced 0.7 percent in June; the output of non-energy materials posted a modest gain of 0.1 percent, but the output of energy materials climbed 2.2 percent. The index for non-energy materials fell at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the second quarter after a string of seven quarters of increases. Among non-energy materials, the output of durable materials edged up 0.1 percent in June, as gains in the production of consumer parts and of equipment parts were nearly offset by a decline in the output of other materials, such as steel. The index for nondurable materials was unchanged, as the output of paper increased but that of textiles and chemicals declined. Industry Groups --------------- Manufacturing output rose 0.4 percent in June; at an annual rate, the index moved up just 1.5 percent in the second quarter. The overall factory operating rate increased 0.2 percentage point last month, to 78.4 percent. The production of durable manufacturing goods rose 0.6 percent and was led by a 2.9 percent gain in the output of motor vehicles and parts. Among the other major categories of durable goods, the production of computer and electronic products rose 0.7 percent in June, and the output of aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment increased 0.9 percent. A decline in the output of steel in June contributed to a 2.2 percent drop in the index for primary metals, which fell at an annual rate of 24.7 percent in the second quarter. The production of nondurable goods edged up 0.1 percent in June, and gains in the output of food, beverage, and tobacco products; paper; petroleum and coal products; and chemicals contributed to the rise. The indexes for textile and product mills, apparel and leather, printing and support, and plastics and rubber products industries all posted declines. The output of non-NAICS manufacturing industries (publishing and logging) rose 0.3 percent. The output at utilities climbed 5.3 percent in June and was bolstered by a nearly 7 percent jump in electricity generation. The operating rate at overall utilities rose to 88.2 percent. The output at mines increased 0.4 percent, and the utilization rate for mining advanced 0.4 percentage point, to 89.0 percent. By stage of process, capacity utilization for industries in the crude stage moved up 0.3 percentage point, to 87.1 percent. For industries in the primary and semifinished stages, the operating rate rose 0.9 percentage point, to 80.7 percent, and for industries in the finished stage, utilization increased 0.4 percentage point, to 77.7 percent. Revision of Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue an annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization this fall; the publication date for the revision is still to be determined. The revised IP indexes will incorporate data from the 2003 Annual Survey of Manufactures and from selected editions of the 2003 and 2004 Current Industrial Reports, all from the U.S. Census Bureau. Annual data from the U.S. Geological Survey regarding metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels) for 2003 and 2004 will also be introduced. The updating will include revisions to the monthly indicator for each industry (either product data or input data) and revisions to seasonal factors. Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate preliminary data from the Census Bureau's 2004 Survey of Plant Capacity, which covers manufacturing, along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Energy, and other organizations. Once the revision is published, it will be made available on the Board's website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17. The revised data will also be available through the website of the Department of Commerce. Further information on these revisions is available from the Board's Industrial Output Section (telephone 202-452-3197).

Industrial Production Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures the real output of the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries; the reference period for the index is 1997. Manufacturing consists of those industries included in the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the industrial sector. For the period since 1997, the total IP index has been constructed from 300 individual series based on the 2002 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. These individual series are classified in two ways: (1) market groups, and (2) industry groups. Market groups consist of products and materials. Total products are the aggregate of final products, such as consumer goods and equipment, and nonindustrial supplies (which are inputs to nonindustrial sectors). Materials are inputs in the manufacture of products. Major industry groups include three-digit NAICS industries and aggregates of these industries-for example, durable and nondurable manufacturing, mining, and utilities. A complete description of the market and industry structures, including details regarding series classification, relative importance weights, and data sources, is available on the Board's web site (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.html) . Changes in output for the market and industry groups are summarized in table 1 and the levels of output (in index form) are shown in table 4. Special aggregates, that highlight the relative importance and contributions of several key industries, such as high-technology and motor vehicles, are summarized in tables 2 and 5. For a detailed description of the contents of the statistical tables, see below. Source data. On a monthly basis, the individual indexes of industrial production are constructed from two main types of source data: (1) output measured in physical units and (2) data on inputs to the production process, from which output is inferred. Data on physical products, such as tons of steel or barrels of oil, are obtained from private trade associations and from government agencies; data of this type are used to estimate monthly IP wherever possible and appropriate. Production indexes for a few industries are derived by dividing estimated nominal output (calculated using unit production or sales and unit values) by a corresponding Fisher price index; the most notable of these fall within the high-technology grouping and include computers, communications equipment, and semiconductors. When suitable data on physical product are not available, estimates of output are based on either production-worker hours or electric power use by industry. Data on hours worked by production workers are collected in the monthly establishment survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data on electric power use are described below. The factors used to convert inputs into estimates of production are based on historical relationships between the inputs and the comprehensive annual data used to benchmark the IP indexes; these factors also may be influenced by technological or cyclical developments. The annual data used in benchmarking the individual IP indexes are constructed from a variety of source data, such as the quinquennial Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral Industries and the Annual Survey of Manufactures, prepared by the Bureau of the Census; the Minerals Yearbook, prepared by the United States Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior; and publications of the Department of Energy. Aggregation Methodology and Weights. The aggregation method for the IP index is a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula. (For a detailed discussion of the aggregation method, see Federal Reserve Bulletin February 1997 and March 2001.) In the IP index, series that measure the output of an individual industry are combined using weights derived from their proportion in the total value-added output of all industries. The IP index, which extends back to 1919, is built as a chain-type index since 1972. The current formula for the growth in monthly IP (or any of the sub-aggregates) since 1972 is the geometric mean of the change in output (I), and, as can be seen below, is computed using the unit value added estimate for the current month (pm) and the estimate for previous month: The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant tables in the G.17 release) are estimates of the industries' relative contributions to overall growth in the following year. For example, the relative importance weight of the motor vehicles and parts industry is about 5 percent. If output in this industry increased 10 percent in a month, then this gain would boost growth in total IP by percentage point (0.05 x 10% = 0.5%). To assist users with calculations, the Federal Reserve's web site provides supplemental monthly statistics that represent the exact proportionate contribution of a monthly change in a component index to the monthly change in the total index (www.federalreserve.gov/ releases/G17/ipdisk/ipweights.sa). Timing. The first estimate of output for a month is published around the 15th of the following month. The estimate is preliminary (denoted by the superscript "p" in tables) and subject to revision in each of the subsequent three months as new source data become available. (Revised estimates are denoted by the superscript "r" in tables.) For the first estimate of output for a given month, about 59 percent of the source data (in value-added terms) are available; the fraction of available source data increases to about 86 percent for estimates in the second month that the estimate is published, 96 percent in the third month, and 96 percent in the fourth month. Data availability by data type is summarized in the table below: Availability of Monthly IP Data in Publication Window(Percent of value added in 2004) Month of estimate Type of data 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Physical product 24 40 50 50 Production-worker hours 35 35 35 35 Electric power use 0 11 11 11 IP data received 59 86 96 96 IP data estimated 41 14 4 4 NOTE-The physical product group includes series based on either monthly or quarterly data. As can be seen in the first line of the table, in the first month, a physical product indicator is available for about half of the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on physical product data (24 percent out of total of 59 percent). Of the 24 percent, about five-sixths (20 percent of total IP) include series that are derived from weekly physical product data and for which actual monthly data may lag up to several months. On average, quarterly product data are received for the third estimate of industrial production. Specifically, quarterly data are available for the second estimate of the last month of a quarter, the third estimate of the second month of a quarter, and the fourth estimate of the first month of a quarter. About 4 percent of the source data for monthly IP-all physical product measures-are available too late for direct inclusion in the current index and are incorporated at the time of an annual historical revision. Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted using Census X-12 ARIMA. For series based on production-worker hours, the current seasonal factors were estimated with data through September 2004; for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least June 2004. Series are pre-adjusted for the effects of holidays or the business cycle when appropriate. For the data since 1972, all seasonally adjusted aggregate indexes are calculated by aggregating the seasonally adjusted indexes of the individual series. Reliability. The average revision to the level of the total IP index, without regard to sign, between the first and the fourth estimates was 0.27 percent during the 1987-2004 period. The average revision to the percent change in total IP, without regard to sign, from the first to the fourth estimates was 0.21 percentage point during the 1987-2004 period. In most cases (about 85 percent), the direction of change in output indicated by the first estimate for a given month is the same as that shown by the fourth estimate. Rounding. The published percent changes are calculated from unrounded indexes, and may not be the same as percent changes calculated from the rounded indexes shown in the release. Capacity Utilization Overview. The Federal Reserve Board constructs estimates of capacity and capacity utilization for industries in manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. For a given industry, the capacity utilization rate is equal to an output index (seasonally adjusted) divided by a capacity index. The Federal Reserve Board's capacity indexes attempt to capture the concept of sustainable maximum output-the greatest level of output a plant can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, after factoring in normal downtime and assuming sufficient availability of inputs to operate the capital in place. Coverage. Capacity indexes are constructed for 85 detailed industries (67 in manufacturing, 16 in mining, and 2 in utilities), which mostly correspond to industries at the three- and four-digit NAICS level. Estimates of capacity and utilization are available for a variety of groups, including durable and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing, mining, utilities, and total industry. Manufacturing consists of those industries included in the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the industrial sector. Also, special aggregates are available, such as high-tech industries and manufacturing excluding high-tech industries. Source Data. The monthly rates of capacity utilization are designed to be consistent with both the monthly data on production and the periodically available data on capacity and utilization. Because there is no direct monthly information on overall industrial capacity or utilization rates, the Federal Reserve first estimates annual capacity indexes from the source data. Capacity data reported in physical units from government sources (primarily from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration) and trade sources are available for portions of several industries in manufacturing (e.g., paper, industrial chemicals, petroleum refining, motor vehicles), as well as for electric utilities and mining; these industries represent about 20 percent of total industrial capacity. When physical product data are unavailable for manufacturing industries, capacity indexes are based on responses to the Bureau of the Census's Survey of Plant Capacity (SPC); these industries account for a bit less than 75 percent of total industry capacity. In the absence of utilization data for a few mining and petroleum series, capacity is based on trends through peaks in production (roughly 5 percent of total industry capacity). A detailed description of the methodology used to construct the capacity indexes is available on the Board's web site (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/cap_notes.html). Aggregation Methodology. Monthly capacity aggregates are calculated in three steps: (1) utilization aggregates are calculated on an annual basis through the most recent full year as capacity-weighted aggregates of individual utilization rates; (2) the annual aggregate capacity is derived from the corresponding production and utilization aggregates; (3) the monthly capacity aggregate is obtained by interpolating with a Fisher index of its constituent monthly capacity series. Utilization rates for the individual series and aggregates are calculated by dividing the pertinent monthly production index by the related capacity index. Consistency. A major aim is that the Federal Reserve utilization rates be consistent over time so that, for example, a rate of 85 percent means about the same degree of tightness that it meant in the past. A major task for the Federal Reserve in developing reasonable and consistent time series of capacity and utilization is dealing with inconsistencies between the movements of the industrial production index and the survey-based utilization rates. The McGraw-Hill/DRI Survey, now discontinued, was the primary source of manufacturing utilization rates for many years. This was a survey of large companies that reported, on average, higher utilization rates than those reported by establishments covered by the SPC (currently the primary source of factory operating rates) for the fourteen years they overlapped. Adjustments have been made to keep the industry utilization rates currently reported by the Federal Reserve roughly in line with rates formerly reported by McGraw-Hill. As a consequence, the rates reported by the Federal Reserve tend to be higher than the rates reported in the SPC. Perspective. Over the 1972-2004 period, the average total industry utilization rate is 81.0 percent; for manufacturing, the average factory operating rate has been 79.8 percent. Industrial plants usually operate at capacity utilization rates that are well below 100 percent: none of the broad aggregates has ever reached 100 percent. For total industry and total manufacturing, utilization rates have exceeded 90 percent only in wartime. The highs and lows in capacity utilization shown in table 7 are specific to each series and do not all occur in the same month. Electric Power Coverage. Electric power data for sales by utilities to industry users and for electric power produced by cogenerators (manufacturing and mining firms that produce electricity for their own use or to sell to a utility) are generally collected at the 4-digit NAICS and 3-digit SIC level for mining and manufacturing. Aggregates for 3-digit industries, as well as for total mining, durable, nondurable, total manufacturing and total industrial electric power use, are computed. Manufacturing consists of those industries included in the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the industrial sector. An aggregate showing total industry excluding nuclear nondefense is shown separately because the value-added proportion for the nondefense nuclear material series (part of NAICS 3251) in total IP is considerably less than its share of total electric power use. In addition, aggregates for utility sales to industrial users and industry generation are computed. While only the major aggregates are shown in the release, data for the 3- and 4-digit industries are available on the Board's web site (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17). Source Data. Electric power data are collected from a sample of utilities and cogenerators covering all twelve Federal Reserve Districts. The primary criterion for inclusion of a utility in the panel is whether the utility provides electric power to industrial customers. A comparison of Federal Reserve kilowatt-hour aggregates to estimates from the 1997 Census of Manufactures (the most recent available) and recent reporting panel statistics suggests the Federal Reserve data cover about 50 percent of the overall sales to manufacturing in that year. The cogeneration panel covers about 50 percent of cogeneration used directly by manufacturers. In order to provide more complete coverage and correct for any shortcomings of the survey, the series are benchmarked at the 4-digit industry level to the latest available data from the Annual Survey of Manufactures and the Census of Manufactures. Methodology. The data we receive from utilities and cogenerators are edited for anomalies and aggregated, using self weights, to the 4-digit NAICS industry levels and above. Where reports are late or unavailable for some reason, responses are estimated. Seasonal Adjustment. Series are seasonally adjusted at the 4-digit NAICS level, with seasonally-adjusted aggregates typically computed as sums of seasonally adjusted components. The seasonal adjustment procedure (Census X-12 program) is used without trading-day adjustments because the reporting periods of the various utilities are not the same. A leap year adjustment is also made where appropriate. References and Release Dates References.
