G.17 (419)

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Industrial production edged up 0.1 percent in December after a revised gain of 0.3 percent in November.
Gains in business equipment and construction supplies were largely offset by small declines in consumer goods and
materials. The end of a strike at a major aircraft producer in mid-December accounted for nearly half of the gain in
business equipment and boosted total production by a bit less than 0.1 percent. For the fourth quarter, industrial
production grew at an 0.8 percent annual rate after having risen at a 3.2 percent annual rate in the third quarter At
122.8 percent of its 1987 average, industrial production in December was 1.1 percent higher than it was in December
1994. Capacity utilization eased 0.2 percentage point in December, to 82.8 percent.
Market Groups
The output of consumer goods slipped 0.2 percent, with the weakness concentrated among industries
producing nondurable goods. The production of durable consumer goods rose 1.2 percent, largely because of an increase

in the output of automotive products. Although the production of other durable goods, such as carpeting and furniture,
also increased noticeably, the overall gain in this grouping was held down a bit as the output of appliances and televisions
reversed some of its sharp rise in November. The output of business equipment rose 0.9 percent, boosted by the end of
the aircraft strike and ongoing strength in the production of information processing equipment such as computers.
However, the production of industrial equipment has been sluggish lately, on balance having changed little since August.
The output of construction supplies increased noticeably in both November and December; in the fourth quarter,
production expanded at about a 4-1/2 percent annual rate after a 1 percent gain in the previous quarter.
The output of materials edged down, with a decline in durable materials about offsetting small gains in
nondurable and energy materials. Among durables, the production of basic metals and parts for consumer durables
decreased, while the output of parts for equipment grew more slowly. Even so, the output of durable materials advanced
at about a 7 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, about the same rate as in the previous quarter. Among nondurables,
the output of both paper and chemicals increased but remained at weak levels, while the production of textiles declined
further.
Industry Groups
Manufacturing output edged up 0.1 percent in December after a 0.2 percent increase in November; excluding
the initial recovery in aircraft production, factory output was unchanged in December. For the fourth quarter, factory
output grew 1.7 percent at an annual rate, compared with a 2.6 percent increase in the previous quarter; the deceleration
was the result of the drop in the production of aircraft and parts. The output of durable manufacturing industries rose
0.3 percent in December, mainly because of the increase in aircraft and parts production and further gains in the output of
computing equipment. The production of nondurable manufacturing was down again as the output indexes of many
major industries declined or were little changed.
The factory operating rate decreased 0.3 percentage point, to 81.8 percent. Since December 1994, which
was the most recent high, capacity utilization has fallen 2.9 percentage points. With the December decline, the utilization
rate in the advanced-processing industries was 80.1 percent—a 2.3 percentage point decrease from December 1994;
industrial machinery and equipment, which includes computers, is the only major industry whose current operating rate is
noticeably above the level of a year ago. The rate in primary-processing industries decreased 0.3 percentage point in
December, to 86.0 percent, and was 4.2 percentage points below its year-ago level. Outside of manufacturing, the
utilization rate in mining was down slightly in December; it fell sharply for the quarter because of contraction in the
output of coal and in oil and gas extraction. The operating rate at utilities picked up a little in December; for the quarter,
the rate eased just a bit from the high level of the previous quarter.

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.
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
and grouped 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."

fourth estimates) was 0.35 percent during the 1972-92 period. The average revision
to the percent change in total IP, without regard to sign, from thefirstto the fourth
estimates was 0.26 percentage point during the same 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.
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.
The early 1994 revision was described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 80
(March 1994), pp. 220-6. The later 1994 revision was described in the Federal
Reserve Bulletin, vol. 81 (January 1995), pp. 16-26. The annual revision published
in November 1995 will be described in the January 1996 Federal Reserve Bulletin.

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 rates 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 Reserve 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. The
early 1994 revision was described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 80 (March
1994), pp. 220-6. The later 1994 revision was described in the Federal Reserve
Bulletin, vol. 81 (January 1995), pp. 16-26. The annual revision published in
November 1995 will be described in the January 1996 Federal Reserve Bulletin.
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 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 nondefense nuclear material series
(part of SIC 2819) accounts for a disproportionately large part of total electric power
use. Because the value-added proportion for this industry 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.

Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted by the X-l 1ARIMA
method, developed at Statistics Canada. For series based on 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 l 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.
