INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Industrial production increased 0.9 percent in November after a revised decline of 0.2 percent in October. A
rebound in the production of motor vehicles at strike-affected General Motors plants and in the production of related parts
and materials accounted for about half of the gain. In addition, a 2.5 percent surge in utility output, in response to
unusually cold weather, contributed 0.2 percentage point to overall IP growth. At 128.0 percent of its 1987 average, total
industrial production in November was 4.4 percent higher than it was in November 1995. The utilization of industrial
capacity increased 0.4 percentage point, to 83.3 percent, matching the most recent pre-strike level, attained in September.
Market Groups
The aggregate output of consumer goods jumped 1.3 percent. Although the rebound in motor vehicles
accounted for about two-fifths of this gain, the remaining increase resulted from an increase of 1.0 percent in the

production of nondurable consumer goods. Growth in the amount of gas and electricity used for residential heat
contributed a substantial portion of this increase, and the output of other nondurables rose 0.6 percent. Led by continuing
weakness in the appliance segment, the production of consumer durables other than automotive products fell another
0.6 percentage point. This decrease marked the fifth consecutive monthly decline for this market group, and the index for
other consumer durables is now 2.6 percent below its year-ago level.
The overall output of business equipment, which had posted sizable monthly gains since May, rose sharply,
increasing 1.3 percent. Gains were particularly strong in the output of transit equipment, in which a bounceback in the
production of motor vehicles was augmented by another substantial increase in the production of commercial aircraft and
equipment. The output of information processing equipment, which had grown more than 1.0 percent per month during
the previous three months, advanced at a more moderate rate of 0.7 percent in November. The output of industrial
equipment edged up 0.2 percent, and the index for this segment now stands at about the same level as it did a year
earlier. However, the output of other equipment, which had been weak most of the year, increased 1.1 percent after a
revised gain of 1.9 percent in October; advances in farm and office equipment led the increases in both months.
After having fallen 1.1 percent in October, the index of construction supplies increased 0.4 percent; the
index of business supplies edged up 0.1 percent after a revised gain of 0.5 percent in October. The aggregate output of
industrial materials increased 0.8 percent. Within this aggregate, the production of durable goods materials advanced
1.0 percent, largely because of rebounds in the production of parts and materials used primarily by the motor vehicle
industry. The output of nondurable materials slipped 0.1 percent; sizable increases in the output of paper materials and of
containers were offset by comparable decreases in the production of chemical materials. The production of energy
materials jumped 1.0 percent, led by a sharp gain in electricity generation.
Industry Groups
Factory output increased 0.8 percent after a revised 0.2 percent loss in October; the production of durable
goods increased 1.2 percent, while that of nondurable goods rose 0.3 percent. The output of durable goods was buoyed
not only by the resurgence of production in motor vehicles and parts but also by increases of 0.5 percent or more in the
production of lumber, furniture and fixtures, fabricated metal products, computer and office equipment, electrical
machinery, and aerospace and miscellaneous transportation. The only decrease in durable goods production was in
primary metals, where the output of iron and steel dropped 2.6 percent.
Among nondurables, the indexes for food, tobacco, textile mill products, and paper all posted gains of
0.5 percent or more; the production of leather and of chemical products also advanced. On the negative side, the output
of apparel products and of petroleum products dropped more than 1.5 percent; the production of rubber and plastics also
declined.
The factory operating rate increased 0.3 percentage point, to 82.2 percent. The rate for advanced-processing
industries, which include motor vehicles and parts, rose 0.6 percentage point, to 80.6 percent, after having fallen a similar
amount in October; the rate for primary-processing industries declined 0.2 percentage point, to 86.2 percent. After
having fallen 5.5 percentage point in October, the operating rate in motor vehicles and parts increased 4.4 percentage
points, to 78.8 percent. The operating rate at mines remained unchanged, at 91.3 percent, while the rate at utilities
increased 2.1 percentage point, to 92.7 percent.

1996 Annual Revision of Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization
The Federal Reserve will publish revisions of its measures of industrial production (IP),
capacity, capacity utilization, and industrial use of electric power on January 7,1997. The revisions of
IP, capacity, and capacity utilization will incorporate updated source data for recent years and will feature a
change in the method of aggregating the indexes. From 1977 onward, the value-added proportions used to
weight individual series will be updated annually rather than quinquennially. In addition, the IP indexes and
the capacity measures will be rebased so that 1992 actual output equals 100. Capacity utilization, the ratio of
IP to capacity, will be recomputed on the basis of revised IP and capacity measures.
The aggregate IP indexes will be constructed with a superlative index formula similar to that
introduced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as the featured measure of real output in its January 1996
comprehensive revision of the National Income and Product Accounts. At present, the aggregate IP indexes
are computed as linked Laspeyres indexes, with the weights updated every five years. Because of the rapid
fall in the relative price of computers and peripheral equipment, that periodic updating of weights is too
infrequent to provide reliable estimates of current changes in output, capacity, and capacity utilization. With
the publication of the revision, value-added proportions will be updated annually, and the new index number
formula will be applied to all aggregates of IP, capacity, and gross value of product. For the most part,
relative price movements among the 260 individual components of the IP index are likely to have little
visible effect on total IP. However, the more frequent updating of the relative price of the output of the
computer industry could lower overall IP growth in some years by as much as 1/2 percentage point; in other
years, the updating of weights will have virtually no effect. Because the new index number formula will slow
capacity growth as well as IP growth, the effect of the reaggregation on overall capacity utilization should be
small.
The regular updating of source data for IP will include the introduction of annual data from the
1994 Annual Survey of Manufactures and selected 1995 Current Industrial Reports of the Bureau of the
Census. Available annual data on mining for 1994 and 1995 from the Department of the Interior will also be
introduced. Revisions to the monthly indicators for each industry (physical product data, production-worker
hours, or electric power usage) and revised seasonal factors will be incorporated back to 1992. In addition,
the benchmark index for semiconductor output will be revised back to 1977 to reflect a hedonic price index,
similar in concept to what is used for the computer industry.
The statistics on the industrial use of electric power will be revised back to 1972. These
revisions stem from three basic sources. First, the new figures incorporate more complete reports received
from utilities for the past few years. Second, an updated panel of reporters on cogeneration will be fully
integrated into our survey of electric power use. Third, the levels of the monthly electric power series for
manufacturing industries will be benchmarked to indexes derived from data published in the Census Bureau's
annual surveys and censuses of manufactures. These indexes will also be revised so that 1992 electric power
usage equals 100.
More detail on the plans for this revision is available on the Internet at
http://www.bog.frb.fed.us, the Board's World Wide Web site. Once the revision is published, the revised
data will be available at that site and on diskettes from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Publications Services, 202-452-3245. The revised data will also be available through the Economic
Bulletin Board of the Department of Commerce; for information about the Bulletin Board, call
202-482-1986. In addition to the data currently provided, the time series of implicit prices necessary for a
user to aggregate IP and capacity under the new methodology will be provided. For information on these
revisions, call the Industrial Output Section of the Board of Governors at 202-452-3151.

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 1987-95
period. In most cases (about 82 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.

Explanatory Note
The statistical release of Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization reports
measures of output, capacity, and capacity utilization in manufacturing, mining, and
the electric and gas utilities industries. It also includes survey data on the use of
electric power in manufacturing and mining. Data in the release are available on-line
on the day of issue through the Economic Bulletin Board of the Department of
Commerce. For information, call (202) 482-1986. Diskettes containing historical
data and the data published in this release are available from the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, Publications Services, (202) 452-3245.

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.
References. Industrial Production—1986 Edition contains a more detailed
description of the methods used to compile the index, plus a history of its
development, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography. To obtain Industrial
Production—1986 Edition ($9.00 per copy), write to Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Publications Services, Washington, DC 20551. The 1990
and 1993 revisions to the index were described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol.
76 (April 1990), pp. 187-204 and vol. 79 (June 1993), pp. 590-605, respectively.
Two revisions were published in 1994 and were described in the Federal Reserve
Bulletin, vol. 80 (March 1994), pp. 220-6 and vol.81 (January 1995), pp. 16-26. The
annual revision published in November 1995 was described in the Federal Reserve
Bulletin, vol. 82 (January 1996), pp. 16-25.

Industrial Production
Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures output in the
manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries. For the period since
1992, the total IP index has been constructed from 260 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
Bureau of Mines; 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 in
chronological segments that are linked together to form a continuous index
expressed as a percentage of output in a comparison base year (currently 1987). Each
segment, which usually spans five years, is a Laspeyres quantity index showing
changes in quantities with prices (Census value added per unit of output) held at
base-year values for the segment. For the period from 1992 to the present, IP is
aggregated on the basis of 1992 value-added weights. The aggregation of the index
for the 1987-91 period is based on 1987 weights, whereas 1982 weights are used for
the 1982-86 period. The other weight years in the postwar period are 1977, 1972.
1967, 1963, 1958, 1954, and 1947. The 1992 value-added weights used to aggregate
the index are shown in the first column of tables 1, 2, and 6, in the "Value added"
column under the heading "1992."
Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted by the X-l 1 ARIMA
method, developed at Statistics Canada. "For series based 6n production-worker
hours, the current seasonal factors were estimated with data through October 1995;
for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least June 1995. In
some cases, series were preadjusted for the effects of holidays or the business cycle
before using X-l 1 ARIMA. The seasonally adjusted total index is calculated by
aggregating the seasonally adjusted major market groups, and may not precisely
equal an aggregation of the seasonally adjusted industry groups.
Reliability. The average revision to the level of the total IP index, without regard to
sign, between the first and the fourth estimates was 0.29 percent during the 1987-95

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 75 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. Value-added proportions are used to weight the individual capacity
indexes in aggregations in the same manner as individual IP series are aggregated to
the total index of industrial production. 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 fates aggregated with
proportions that reflect current capacity levels of output valued in base-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.
References. The basic methodology used to estimate capacity and utilization is
discussed in the Federal Resent Bulletin, vol. 71 (October 1985), pp. 754-66. The
1990 and 1993 revisions were described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 76
(June 1990), pp. 412-35 and vol. 79 (June 1993), pp. 590-605, respectively. Two
revisions were published in 1994 and were described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin,
vol. 80 (March 1994), pp. 220-6 and vol. 81 (January 1995). pp. 16-26. The annual
revision published in November 1995 was described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
vol. 82 (January 1996). pp. 16-25.

Electric Power
Data on electric power (expressed in kilowatt hours) are collected by the Federal
Reserve District Ranks 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 1987. 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 1987 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.
