INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Industrial production rose 0.2 percent in May, to 139.3 percent of its 1992 average, and has risen almost
2 percent since its recent low in December 2001. Manufacturing output also increased 0.2 percent in May. Mining
output climbed 0.7 percent, and utilities production fell 0.9 percent. The rate of capacity utilization for total industry
edged up, to 75.5 percent, but was more than 6 percentage points below its 1967–2001 average.
Market Groups
The output of consumer goods was unchanged in May. Increases in durable goods offset decreases in
nondurables. Among durables, the appliance, furniture, and carpeting market group advanced 1.7 percent, and home
electronics, led by household audio and video equipment, rose 2.4 percent. However, the output of automotive products
edged down 0.2 percent because of a reduction in motor vehicles assemblies. Among nondurables, non-energy and
energy output contracted. In the non-energy category, which slipped 0.1 percent, a decline in the output of foods and

tobacco more than outweighed a rise in the production of paper products. Despite its May increase, the index for paper
products remained more than 9 percent below its level of May 2001. The indexes for clothing and chemical products
were unchanged. The output of energy products fell 0.4 percent in May; lower production of fuels, primarily automotive
gasoline, contributed to the decline.
The production of business equipment inched up 0.1 percent. The output of the industrial and other
equipment category climbed 1.8 percent. An increase in the production of construction machinery contributed
importantly to the rise, although gains were widespread across components of the index. The production of information
processing equipment edged up 0.1 percent as gains in most components, including computers, more than offset
weakness in communications equipment. A large reduction in the output of commercial aircraft was principally
responsible for the 3.1 percent drop in the production of transit equipment. The index, which has fallen more than
19 percent in the past year, is at its lowest level since November 1996.
The production of construction supplies rose 0.4 percent in May and is almost 4 percent above its recent low
in November 2001. The index for business supplies has risen slowly in recent months after having posted larger gains
earlier in the year.
Materials production increased 0.3 percent in May, its fifth consecutive monthly gain. Output in the
category reached its highest level since April 2001 but remained more than 5 percent below its recent peak in June 2000.
The indexes for all major materials categories rose. A rise of 0.5 percent in the output of durable materials was led by the
production of equipment parts and other durable materials. A gain of 0.2 percent for nondurable materials was led by
textile materials and paper materials, and energy materials edged up 0.1 percent.
Industry Groups
Manufacturing output rose 0.2 percent in May. Production advanced among all durables industries except
for motor vehicles and parts and aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment. The largest gains were in
industrial machinery and equipment and electrical machinery, which continued their recent upward trends. These two
industries include computers and office equipment and semiconductors and related electronic components, which have
been strong over the past few months and have recovered the losses incurred in 2001. Increases in the output of lumber
and products, fabricated metals, and miscellaneous goods also contributed to the expansion of durables. Among
nondurables, increases in the output of rubber and plastics products, chemicals and products, printing and publishing,
textile mill products, and paper and products more than offset declines in the output of food and tobacco products and of
petroleum products.
The factory operating rate increased in May to 73.9 percent. The utilization rate for advanced-processing
industries held at 72.8 percent, while the rate for primary-processing industries increased to 75.6 percent. The operating
rate at utilities fell to 85.3 percent, and the operating rate for mining rose to 86.0 percent. With this release, capacity
indexes have been revised from February 2002 forward.

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. The release also includes monthly indexes on
the use of electric power in manufacturing and mining. Files containing data in the
release and historical data are available under “Research and Data” at
www.federalreserve.gov, the Board’s World Wide Web site. For paid access to these
files through the Department of Commerce’s Economic Bulletin Board or World
Wide Web site, please call STAT-USA at 1-800-STAT-USA or (202) 452-1986.
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; the reference period
for the index is 1992. For the period since 1997, the total IP index has been
constructed from 276 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; 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 U.S.
Geological Survey; 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 a
chain-type index since 1977. The components of IP are combined using annual
estimates of value added per unit of output; for the data since 1992, the annual
unit-value-added estimates are linearly interpolated to get monthly weights. 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 2000;
for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least June 2000.
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
1987–2001 period. The average revision to the percent change in total IP, without
regard to sign, from the first to the fourth estimates was 0.22 percentage point during

18

the 1987–2001 period. In most cases (about 84 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.
