FEDERAL RESERVE STATISTICAL RELEASE G.17 (419) For release at 9:15 a.m. (EDT) July 14, 2000 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION Industrial production rose 0.2 percent in June, after gains of 0.5 percent in May and 0.8 percent in April. At 144.6 percent of its 1992 average, industrial production in June was 5.8 percent higher than in June 1999. For the second quarter as a whole, the total index increased at an annual rate of 7.0 percent, up from a first-quarter pace of 6.5 percent. The output of mines and utilities picked up in the second quarter, while the growth of manufacturing output remained close to an annual rate of 7.0 percent for a third consecutive quarter. The strength in manufacturing this year has principally come from the high-technology industries (computers, semiconductors, and communications equipment); excluding those industries, manufacturing has increased at an annual rate of only 1.0 percent since the fourth quarter of last year. The rate of capacity utilization for total industry edged down in June to 82.1 percent, a level about even with the 1967-99 average. Market Groups ------------- The output of consumer goods edged down 0.1 percent in June; an increase of 0.5 percent in the production of durable consumer goods was more than offset by a decline in the production of nondurables. The gain in the production of durable consumer goods was the result of a 1.7 percent rebound in the output of automotive products. In contrast, the output of other consumer durable goods decreased 0.5 percent, as the production of goods for the home, such as appliances, furniture, and carpeting, fell again. The decline in nondurable consumer goods was concentrated in energy products; the demand for electricity by households, which had shot up in April and May, fell back. The production of nondurable non-energy consumer goods edged up 0.1 percent, with solid gains in the production of consumer chemicals and paper products nearly offset by a decline in the output of clothing. The production of business equipment, which had increased more than 1-1/4 percent per month from January to April, increased only 0.4 percent in June after a 0.6 percent advance in May. The production of high-technology equipment continued to rise strongly in June: The production of information processing and related equipment increased 1.3 percent on the strength of advances in the output of communications equipment and computers. The production index for the other equipment category also turned up sharply because of a jump in the output of farm machinery and equipment. However, the output of transit equipment fell again in June because of a continued decline in the production of commercial aircraft and a reduction in the production of medium and heavy trucks. In addition, the production of industrial equipment fell back 0.4 percent, largely reversing the gains in April and May; most of the decrease reflected a decline in the output of construction machinery. The production index for construction supplies fell 1.0 percent in June after having decreased 0.9 percent in May; for both months, declines in underlying industries were widespread. Since peaking in April, the index for construction supplies has retraced more than half of the increase posted earlier in the year. The output of materials was up 0.7 percent in June, a gain somewhat smaller than the average for the preceding three months. The output of durable goods materials rose 1.2 percent, with another strong increase in the production of parts for equipment and for consumer goods; however, the output of basic metals fell again in June. The production of nondurable goods materials dropped 0.5 percent, and the output of energy materials was unchanged. Industry Groups --------------- Manufacturing output rose 0.3 percent in June, after having advanced an average of 0.6 percent per month since the end of last year. The production of durable goods rose further, and the production of nondurable goods declined again. Among durable goods, continued increases in the production of high-technology goods accounted for most of the overall gain; however, output in some industries, such as primary metals and construction-related industries, has weakened recently. The output of nondurables slipped another 0.2 percent, a move led by decreases in petroleum refining and in the production of apparel and paper. The factory operating rate, at 81.3 percent, was unchanged. The utilization rate for primary-processing industries decreased, to 82.8 percent, and that for advanced-processing industries edged up, to 80.9 percent. The output of utilities fell back 2.5 percent following sharp gains in the preceding two months; the operating rate at utilities fell to 88.9 percent. Production at mines increased 1.1 percent after having fallen 0.2 percent in May; the utilization rate at mines rose to 85.9 percent.

Industrial Production Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures output in the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries; the reference period for the index is 1992. For the period since 1992, the total IP index has been constructed from 267 individual series based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). These individual series are classified in two ways: (1) market groups (shown in table 1), such as consumer goods, equipment, intermediate products, and materials; and (2) industry groups (shown in tables 2 and 6), such as two-digit SIC industries and major aggregates of these industries-for example, durable and nondurable manufacturing, mining, and utilities. Market groups. For purposes of analysis, the individual IP series are grouped into final products, intermediate products, and materials. Final products are assumed to be purchased by consumers, businesses, or government for final use. Intermediate products are expected to become inputs in nonindustrial sectors, such as construction, agriculture, and services. Materials are industrial output requiring further processing within the industrial sector. Total products comprise final and intermediate products, and final products are divided into consumer goods and equipment. 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.) After the fourth month, indexes are not revised further until the time of an annual revision or a benchmark revision. The last three benchmark revisions were published in 1990, 1985, and 1976. Source data. In annual or benchmark revisions, 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 Department of the Interior; and publications of the Department of Energy. 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 as well as from government agencies including those listed above; data of this type are used to estimate monthly IP where possible and appropriate. When suitable data on physical product are unavailable, 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 data used to benchmark the IP indexes; these factors also may be influenced by technological or cyclical developments. Especially for the first and second estimates for a given month, the available source data are limited and subject to revision. Weights. In the index, series that measure the output of an individual industry are weighted according to their proportion in the total value-added output of all industries. The industrial production index, which extends back to 1919, is built as an annually weighted chain-type index since 1977. The components of IP are combined using estimates of value added per unit of output. For months from January to June, the weights are drawn from the year containing the month being estimated and the preceding year; for months from July to December, the weights are drawn from the current and following year. The IP proportions shown in column 1 of tables 1A, 2A, and 6 are estimates of the industries' relative contributions to overall growth in the following year. For example, a 1 percent increase in durable goods manufacturing in 1997 would account for an increase in total IP of nearly 1/2 percent. Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted by the X-11 ARIMA method, developed at Statistics Canada. For series based on production-worker hours, the current seasonal factors were estimated with data through October 1998; for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least June 1998. Series are preadjusted for the effects of holidays or the business cycle where appropriate. For the data since 1977, 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 0.28 percent during the 1987-97 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 1987-97 period. In most cases (about 83 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 Definition. Capacity utilization is calculated for the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries. For a given industry, the utilization rate is equal to an output index divided by a capacity index. Output is measured by seasonally adjusted indexes of industrial production. The capacity indexes attempt to capture the concept of sustainable practical capacity, which is defined as the greatest level of output that a plant can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, taking account of normal downtime, and assuming sufficient availability of inputs to operate the machinery and equipment in place. The 76 individual capacity indexes are based on a variety of data, including capacity data measured in physical units compiled by trade associations, surveys of utilization rates and investment, and estimates of growth of the capital input. Groups. Estimates of capacity and utilization are available for a variety of groups, including primary and advanced processing industries within manufacturing, durable and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing, mining, utilities, and total industry. Component industries of the primary and advanced processing groups within manufacturing are listed in the note on tables 2 and 3 of the release. Weights. Although each utilization rate is the result of dividing an IP series by a corresponding capacity index, aggregate utilization rates are equivalent to combinations of individual utilization rates aggregated with proportions that reflect current capacity levels of output valued in current-period value added per unit of actual output. The implied proportions of individual industry operating rates in the rate for total industry for the most recent year are shown in the first column of table 3. Perspective. The historical highs and lows in capacity utilization shown in the tables above are specific to each series and did not all occur in the same month. 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. Electric Power Data on electric power (expressed in kilowatt hours) are collected by the Federal Reserve District Banks from electric utilities and also from manufacturing and mining establishments that generate electric power for their own use (cogenerators). The indexes of power use shown in table 9 are sums of kilowatt hours used by an industry or industry group expressed as a percentage of that industry's or group's usage in 1992. The first column of the table shows, for reference, electric power use in billions of kilowatt hours as reported by manufacturing and mining industries in the 1992 censuses of those industries. The supplementary group, "Total, less nuclear nondefense," is shown separately because the value-added proportion for the nondefense nuclear material series (part of SIC 2819) in total IP is considerably smaller than its share of total electric power use. Excluding this component from total power use facilitates comparisons with total IP.
