FEDERAL RESERVE statistical release G.17 (419) For release at 9:15 a.m. (EDT) July 16, 1999 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION Industrial production rose 0.2 percent in June after gains of 0.2 percent in May and 0.3 percent in April. At 134.2 percent of its 1992 average, industrial production in June was 2.7 percent higher than in June 1998. For the second quarter as a whole, the total index increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, up from a first-quarter pace of 1.3 percent. At 80.3 percent in June, capacity utilization for total industry was little changed from the beginning of the year but was down 1.2 percentage points from June 1998. Market Groups The output of consumer goods was unchanged for a second month. The production of durable consumer goods decelerated to a 0.5 percent rate. The output of automotive products rose 1.8 percent while the production of other durable goods fell 0.5 percent, with declines in kitchen appliances, carpets, and other goods exceeding gains in home computing equipment and room air conditioners. For the second quarter, the output of durable consumer goods increased (over) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION: SUMMARY Seasonally adjusted Index, 1992=100 Percent change Industrial Production 1999 Mar.r Apr.r Mayr Junep Total index Previous estimates 133.3 133.3 133.7 133.8 134.0 134.1 Major market groups: Products, total Consumer goods Business equipment Construction supplies Materials 125.2 115.3 169.3 131.7 146.7 125.6 115.6 170.7 132.2 146.9 Major industry groups: Manufacturing Durable Nondurable Mining Utilities 137.5 163.1 111.7 98.9 116.7 138.0 164.2 111.8 98.3 116.3 Capacity Utilization Total industry Previous estimates Manufacturing Advanced processing Primary processing Mining Utilities Average 1967–98 1982 Low 1999 Mar.r Apr.r Mayr Junep 134.2 .7 .7 .3 .4 .2 .2 .2 2.7 125.8 115.6 171.7 132.1 147.4 125.6 115.6 171.9 131.3 148.2 .5 .0 1.0 –.8 1.0 .4 .3 .8 .4 .2 .1 .0 .6 –.1 .3 –.1 .0 .1 –.6 .5 1.6 .4 5.1 4.1 4.5 138.4 165.2 111.6 98.7 114.3 138.6 165.9 111.3 99.1 114.7 .4 .9 –.2 .1 4.9 .4 .6 .1 –.6 –.4 .3 .6 –.2 .4 –1.7 .1 .4 –.2 .4 .4 3.6 7.1 –.7 –5.4 –3.4 Percent of capacity 1988–89 1998 1999 High June Mar.r Apr.r Mayr June 98 to June 99 Capacity growth June 98 to Junep June 99 82.1 71.1 85.4 81.5 80.5 80.5 80.5 80.5 80.4 80.5 80.3 4.3 81.1 80.5 82.4 87.5 87.4 69.0 70.4 66.2 80.3 75.9 85.7 84.2 88.9 88.0 92.6 80.2 79.2 83.3 87.3 94.0 79.5 78.4 82.7 81.8 91.9 79.6 78.6 82.5 81.2 91.5 79.6 78.6 82.4 81.4 89.9 79.4 78.5 82.2 81.7 90.2 4.7 5.6 2.4 1.1 .7 at an annual rate of 12.3 percent as assemblies of light vehicles rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 12.7 million units, up from 12.3 million units in the first quarter. The production of nondurable consumer goods eased 0.2 percent in June; a small decrease in the production of non-energy goods was accompanied by a further decline in the production of energy goods as the output of fuels fell back. Over the past twelve months, the output of consumer nondurable goods fell 2.9 percent, with weakness in most major categories. A 0.1 percent gain in the output of business equipment followed monthly advances that averaged 0.8 percent from March to May. Further gains in the production of information processing equipment and in the assembly of business vehicles were counterbalanced by declines in the output of farm machinery and equipment, civilian aircraft, and industrial equipment, particularly construction and mining machinery. The output of defense and space equipment declined 0.6 percent, to a level 2 percent below that of June 1998. The production of both construction and business supplies eased for a second month. For the second quarter, the index for construction supplies fell at an annual rate of 1.2 percent after an increase of 8.3 percent in the first quarter, when mild weather contributed to strength in construction activity. The output of materials increased 0.5 percent. The output of durable goods materials, which, in terms of value added, accounts for more than half of industrial materials, increased 0.7 percent in June, as it had in May. The output of semiconductors and computer parts continued to rise appreciably. The production of nondurable goods materials and energy materials turned up a bit after declines in May; both of these indexes were more than 1 percent below their levels of June 1998. Industry Groups Output in manufacturing edged up 0.1 percent as an increase of 0.4 percent for durable goods was partly offset by a decrease of 0.2 percent for nondurables. The June rise in durables was the smallest since February; output over the second quarter rose at an annual rate of 7.7 percent. The gain in June, as well as for the second quarter, principally reflected significant gains at makers of high-technology goods, such as computers and semiconductors, and increases in the output of motor vehicles and parts. The output of stone, clay, and glass products also picked up in June. Production decreased notably in lumber and in miscellaneous manufacturing; output has also fallen in aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment because commercial aircraft production has been declining from the record levels of last year. The decrease in the production of nondurables continued the weakness of recent months; output edged down 0.3 percent at an annual rate in the second quarter after having increased only slightly during the previous two quarters. The output of petroleum products and of leather and products fell about 2 percent in June; the production of tobacco, textiles, and apparel fell about 1 percent; and the output of chemicals and products fell about 1/2 percent. However, increases in food and in paper and products restrained the overall drop in nondurables. The factory operating rate fell 0.2 percentage point, to 79.4 percent, with decreases in both advanced- and primary-processing industries. Capacity utilization in primary-processing industries, at 82.2 percent, dipped noticeably below its 1967–98 average for only the second month since mid-1992; utilization for advanced-processing industries has been below its long-run average since June 1998. The output indexes for both utilities and mining rose 0.4 percent in June. The operating rate at electric utilities, 93.6 percent, was about 4 percentage points above its long-run average. The operating rate for mining, 81.7 percent, was well below its long-run average; weakness in the oil fields accounted for much of the slack. 2 Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization (June data, seasonally adjusted) Ratio scale, 1992=100 Percent of capacity Industrial Production Capacity Utilization 135 85 Total Industry 125 Manufacturing Total Industry 115 80 Manufacturing 105 95 75 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 Industrial Production, Market Groups Ratio scale, 1992=100 1998 Ratio scale, 1992=100 Intermediate Products Consumer goods 135 135 125 125 Durable 115 115 Construction supplies 105 105 Nondurable Business supplies 95 95 85 85 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 1990 1992 1994 1996 Ratio scale, 1992=100 175 160 1998 Ratio scale, 1992=100 Equipment Materials 175 160 145 145 130 130 Durable goods Business 115 115 100 100 Nondurable goods and energy 85 85 Defense and Space 70 70 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 1990 3 1992 1994 1996 1998 Table 1A INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION: MARKET GROUPS Index, 1992=100 1998 IP Proportion1 Seasonally Adjusted 1999 Jan. 100.00 Not seasonally adjusted Feb.

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, 18 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.
