FEDERAL RESERVE STATISTICAL RELEASE
G.17 (419) Supplement For release at 9:15 a.m. (EDT)
April 16, 2002
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION
Industrial production rose 0.7 percent in March for a third consecutive monthly increase.
At 138.8 percent of its 1992 average, output reached its highest level since August 2001 but was
2.9 percent below its level in March 2001. Manufacturing output climbed 0.8 percent; the output
at utilities increased 1.6 percent, but production at mines declined by the same amount. For the
first quarter as a whole, total industrial production increased at an annual rate of 2.5 percent.
The rate of capacity utilization for total industry moved up in March to 75.4 percent but was still
below its 1967-2001 average of 81.9 percent.
Market Groups
-------------
The output of consumer goods rose 0.6 percent in March; gains were widespread across
durables and nondurables. Among durables, the production of automotive products and home
electronics moved up slightly after two months of decline. Much larger gains occurred in the
production of appliances, furniture, and carpeting, which increased 1.3 percent, and in the
production of miscellaneous durable goods, which jumped 2.5 percent. These two groups
accounted for most of the rise of consumer durables. The production indexes both for energy
and non-energy nondurables rose 0.5 percent. Within the non-energy category, the output of
clothing increased 2.0 percent. Clothing production rose at an annual rate of more than 11
percent in the first quarter, a near reversal of its decline in the fourth quarter of last year. In
contrast, the production of paper products remained weak; it has posted eleven consecutive
monthly declines and was 9.6 percent below its level in March 2001.
The production of business equipment edged up 0.1 percent in March. Gains of 1.1
percent in the information-processing group and in the industrial and other equipment group
were almost completely offset by a 3.2 percent drop in the output of transit equipment. The drop
in transit equipment largely reflects a further curtailment of commercial aircraft production.
Despite the gain in March, the output of business equipment declined in the first quarter at an
annual rate of 5.2 percent and was about 12 percent below its level in March 2001. The
production of defense and space equipment rose 1.1 percent.
The output of construction supplies climbed 1.2 percent in March and was led by an
increase in the production of lumber. In the first quarter, the output of construction supplies rose
at an annual rate of more than 8 percent, which nearly reversed its decline in the fourth quarter of
2001. The production of business supplies moved up 0.8 percent, its largest increase since May
2000; the output of both general business supplies and commercial energy products contributed
to the rise.
The production of materials continued to be strong; output rose 0.9 percent in March and
returned to a level not seen since May of last year. Continuing the pattern of increases that
began in January of this year, gains in March were widespread across both durable and
nondurable categories. Among durable materials, consumer parts posted the largest gain.
Among nondurables, textile materials recorded the greatest increase. The production of energy
materials fell 0.4 percent.
Industry Groups
---------------
Manufacturing output rose 0.8 percent in March. The production of both durable and
nondurable goods increased, and gains were evident in nearly all major industry groups. Within
durables, output for nearly all industries advanced 1.0 percent or more; the only exceptions were
motor vehicles and parts and instruments, which posted smaller gains, and aerospace and
miscellaneous transportation equipment, which continued to slide. Among nondurables, textile
mill products, apparel, and paper and products all increased at least 1.0 percent. The output of
petroleum products fell back 0.3 percent, and production in the printing and publishing industry
continued to recede.
The factory operating rate rose 0.5 percentage point in March, to 73.9 percent, its highest
level since August 2001. The utilization rate for advanced-processing industries moved up 0.3
percentage point, to 73.1 percent, and the rate for primary-processing industries increased to 75.1
percent. The operating rate at utilities climbed to 84.6 percent, but the operating rate for mining
declined for the sixth consecutive month, to 84.3 percent.

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 0.27 percent during the 1987-99
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 1987-99
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.
