FEDERAL RESERVE STATISTICAL RELEASE
G.17 (419) For release at 9:15 a.m. (EST)
December 15, 2009
Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization
Industrial production increased 0.8 percent in November after having been unchanged in October.
Manufacturing production advanced 1.1 percent, with broad-based gains among both durables and nondurables.
The output of mines climbed 2.1 percent, but the index for utilities fell 1.8 percent, primarily as a
result of lower output of gas utilities--temperatures in November were unseasonably mild and reduced the
need for heating. At 99.4 percent of its 2002 average, total industrial production was 5.1 percent below
its level of a year earlier. Capacity utilization for total industry moved up 0.7 percentage point to
71.3 percent, a rate 9.6 percentage points below its average for the period from 1972 through 2008.
Market Groups
-------------
The production of consumer goods moved up 0.3 percent in November, a gain that reflected an increase in
the output of durable goods. Among consumer durables, the indexes for automotive products and for
appliances, furniture, and carpeting moved up, while the index for home electronics fell for the 10th month
in a row. The production of consumer nondurables was unchanged in November; an increase in non-energy
nondurables offset a decrease in consumer energy products. The advance in the production of non-energy
nondurable goods resulted from sizable gains in paper products and in chemical products, but declines in
the output of clothing and of food and tobacco products limited the increase in this category. The
decrease in consumer energy products reflected the drop in utilities, and the output of fuels advanced.
The index for business equipment rose 0.4 percent in November. Results for its major components were
mixed: The output of industrial and other equipment rose 0.9 percent, the output of information processing
equipment was unchanged, and the output of transit equipment declined. The production of defense and space
equipment fell for a second month; these decreases, which averaged just more than 1 percent per month,
retraced nearly half of the gains accumulated over the three previous months.
Within nonindustrial supplies, the production of construction supplies increased 1.6 percent in November
after having fallen in each of the previous two months. The output of business supplies rose 0.7 percent
last month; an increase in general business supplies more than offset a decline in commercial energy
products.
The production of materials moved up 1.3 percent in November. The index for non-energy materials jumped
1.7 percent, and the index for energy materials increased 0.3 percent. Among non-energy materials, both
the durable and nondurable materials categories recorded substantial gains. Within durables, output in the
consumer parts category decreased 0.3 percent; however, the output of equipment parts gained 1.1 percent,
and the output of other durable materials advanced 2.2 percent. Production for all major categories of
nondurable materials moved up, and the largest gain, 2.9 percent, was in chemical materials. The small
rise in energy materials came as increases in crude oil extraction and support activities for oil and gas
well drilling offset a decrease in utilities.
Industry Groups
---------------
Manufacturing output increased 1.1 percent in November after having edged down 0.2 percent in October, and
capacity utilization for manufacturing increased 0.8 percentage point to 68.4 percent. The index for
durable goods increased 1.0 percent, and robust gains were posted for nonmetallic mineral products, primary
metals, motor vehicles and parts, and furniture and related products. Assemblies of motor vehicles moved
up 200,000 units in November to 7.2 million units (annual rate). Among other durable goods categories,
production of wood products, machinery, computer and electronic products, and miscellaneous goods also
increased in November, while production of fabricated metal products; electrical equipment, appliances, and
components; and aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment decreased.
The production of nondurable goods rose 1.1 percent in November. Gains of more than 1 percent were
registered for the majority of nondurable goods categories, including textile and product mills, paper,
printing and support, petroleum and coal products, chemicals, and plastics and rubber products. Production
of food, beverage, and tobacco products slipped 0.2 percent, and the output of apparel and leather edged up
0.1 percent. Production in the non-NAICS manufacturing industries (logging and publishing) rose 2.1
percent.
The output of mines increased 2.1 percent in November after two months of small declines, and the capacity
utilization rate for mining moved up 1.9 percentage points to 85.2 percent. The gains in mining primarily
reflected advances in oil and gas well drilling; related support activity; and stone, sand, and gravel
mining. The output of utilities fell 1.8 percent, and the operating rate for utilities fell back 1.5
percentage points to 77.9 percent. The output of natural gas utilities dropped 8.1 percent, and the output
of electric utilities fell 0.6 percent.
Capacity utilization at industries grouped by stage of process changed as follows: For the crude stage,
utilization rose 1.8 percentage points to 85.2 percent, a rate 1.4 percentage points below its 1972-2008
average; for the primary and semifinished stages, utilization moved up 0.4 percentage point to 67.8
percent, a rate 14.2 percentage points below its long-run average; and for the finished stage, utilization
increased 0.6 percentage point to 70.0 percent, a rate 7.7 percentage points below its long-run average.
Notice
Revision of Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization
The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP)
and the related measures of capacity utilization in the second quarter of 2010. The revised IP indexes
will incorporate detailed data from the 2007 Economic Census and the 2008 Annual Survey of Manufactures
(ASM), both conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Data from selected editions of the Census Bureau's 2008
Current Industrial Reports will also be incorporated, as will annual data from the U.S. Geological Survey
regarding metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels) for 2008. The updating will include revisions
to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry as
well as changes in the estimation methods for some series. Any changes to the methods for estimating the
output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.
Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data from the Census Bureau's Quarterly
Survey of Plant Capacity, which covers manufacturing, along with new data on capacity from the U.S.
Geological Survey, the Department of Energy, and other organizations.
Once the revision is published, it will be available on the Board's website at
www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17. The revised data will also be available through the website of the
Department of Commerce. Further information on the revision can be obtained from the Board's Industrial
Output Section (telephone number 202-452-3197).

Note. The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the
U.S. industrial sector, which is defined by the Federal Reserve to comprise manufacturing,
mining, and electric and gas utilities. Mining is defined as all industries in sector 21 of the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS); electric and gas utilities are those in
NAICS sectors 2211 and 2212. Manufacturing comprises NAICS manufacturing industries (sector 31-33)
plus the logging industry and the newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing industries.
Logging and publishing are classified elsewhere in NAICS (under agriculture and information
respectively), but historically they were considered to be manufacturing and were included in
the industrial sector under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. In December 2002
the Federal Reserve reclassified all its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS.

Explanatory Note
The Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization statistical release,
which is published around the middle of the month, reports measures of
output, capacity, and capacity utilization in manufacturing, mining, and
the electric and gas utilities industries. More detailed descriptions of
industrial production and capacity utilization are available on the Board's
website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17. In addition,
the website includes files containing data shown in the release, more detailed
series that are published in a monthly supplement to the G.17, and
historical data. Instructions on searching for and downloading specific
series are provided as well. For paid access to the data 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 also 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 the real output
of the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries; the
reference period for the index is 2002. Manufacturing consists of those
industries included in the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) definition of manufacturing plus those industries-
newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing plus logging-that have
traditionally been considered to be manufacturing. For the period since 1997,
the total IP index has been constructed from 312 individual series
based on the 2002 NAICS codes. These individual series
are classified in two ways: (1) market groups, and (2) industry groups.
Market groups consist of products and materials. Total products are the
aggregate of final products, such as consumer goods and equipment, and
nonindustrial supplies (which are inputs to nonindustrial sectors).
Materials are inputs in the manufacture of products. Major industry
groups include three-digit NAICS industries and aggregates of these
industries-for example, durable and nondurable manufacturing, mining,
and utilities. A complete description of the market and industry structures,
including details regarding series classification, relative importance
weights, and data sources, is available on the Board's web site
(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.htm).
Source data. 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
and from government agencies; data of this type are used to estimate
monthly IP wherever possible and appropriate. Production indexes for a
few industries are derived by dividing estimated nominal output
(calculated using unit production and unit values or sales) by a
corresponding Fisher price index; the most notable of these fall within the
high-technology grouping and include computers, communications
equipment, and semiconductors. When suitable direct measures of product
are not available, estimates of output are based on production-worker
hours by industry. Data on hours worked by production workers are
collected in the monthly establishment survey conducted by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The factors used to convert inputs into estimates of
production are based on historical relationships between the inputs and the
comprehensive annual data used to benchmark the IP indexes; these
factors also may be influenced by technological or cyclical developments.
The annual data used in benchmarking 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 United States Geological Survey of the
Department of the Interior; and publications of the Department of Energy.
Aggregation Methodology and Weights. The aggregation method for
the IP index is a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula. (For a detailed
discussion of the aggregation method, see the Federal Reserve Bulletins
of February 1997 and March 2001.) In the IP index, series that measure the
output of an individual industry are combined using weights derived from
their proportion in the total value-added output of all industries. The IP
index, which extends back to 1919, is built as a chain-type index since
1972. The current formula for the growth in monthly IP (or any of the
sub-aggregates) since 1972 is shown below. An output index for month m is
denoted by I^A_m for aggregate A and I_m for each of its components.
The monthly price measure in the formula (p_m) is interpolated from an annual series of
value added divided by the average annual IP index.
% Equation not available in ascii file.
The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant
tables in the G.17 release) are estimates of the industries' relative
contributions to overall growth in the following year. For example, the
relative importance weight of the motor vehicles and parts industry is
about 8 percent. If output in this industry increased 10 percent in a month,
then this gain would boost growth in total IP by 8/10 percentage point
(0.08 x 10% = 0.8%). To assist users with calculations, the Federal
Reserve's web site provides supplemental monthly statistics that represent
the exact proportionate contribution of a monthly change in a component
index to the monthly change in the total index (www.federalreserve.gov/
releases/G17/ipdisk/IPWeightsSa.txt).
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 five months as new source data
become available. (Revised estimates are denoted by the superscript "r" in tables.)
For the first estimate of output for a given month, about 72 percent of the source data (in value-added terms)
are available; the fraction of available source data increases to 86 percent for estimates in the second month
that the estimate is published, 95 percent in the third month, 98 percent in the fourth month,
99 percent in the fifth month, and 99 percent in the sixth month. Data availability
by data type in late 2008 is summarized in the table below:
Availability of Monthly IP Data in Publication Window
(Percent of value added in 2008) %
Type of data 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
Physical product 30 44 54 56 57 57
Production-worker hours 42 42 42 42 42 42
IP data received 72 86 95 98 99 99
IP data estimated 28 14 5 2 1 1
The physical product group includes series based on either monthly or
quarterly data. As can be seen in the first row of the table, in the
first month, a physical product indicator is available for about half
of the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on
physical product data (30 percent out of a total of 57 percent). Of the
30 percent, about two-thirds (19 percent of total IP) include series
that are derived from weekly physical product data and for which
actual monthly data may lag up to several months. On average,
quarterly product data are received for the fourth estimate of
industrial production. Specifically, quarterly data are available for
the third estimate of the last month of a quarter, the fourth estimate
of the second month of a quarter, and the fifth estimate of the first
month of a quarter.
Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted using
Census X-12 ARIMA. For series based on production-worker hours, the
current seasonal factors were estimated with data through February 2009;
for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least
September 2008. Series are pre-adjusted for the effects of holidays or
business cycles when appropriate. For the data since 1972, 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 0.26 percent
during the 1987-2008 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 1987-2008 period. In most cases (about
85 percent), the direction of the 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
Overview. The Federal Reserve Board constructs estimates of capacity
and capacity utilization for industries in manufacturing, mining, and
electric and gas utilities. For a given industry, the capacity utilization rate
is equal to an output index (seasonally adjusted) divided by a capacity
index. The Federal Reserve Board's capacity indexes attempt to capture
the concept of sustainable maximum output-the greatest level of output a
plant can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, after
factoring in normal downtime and assuming sufficient availability of
inputs to operate the capital in place.
Coverage. Capacity indexes are constructed for 87 detailed industries
(69 in manufacturing, 16 in mining, and 2 in utilities), which mostly
correspond to industries at the three- and four-digit NAICS level.
Estimates of capacity and utilization are available for a variety of groups,
including durable and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing,
mining, utilities, and total industry. Manufacturing consists of those
industries included in the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) definition of manufacturing plus those industries-
newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing plus logging-that have
traditionally been considered to be manufacturing. Also, special aggregates
are available, such as high-technology industries and manufacturing
excluding high-technology industries.
Source Data. The monthly rates of capacity utilization are designed to be
consistent with both the monthly data on production and the periodically
available data on capacity and utilization. Because there is no direct
monthly information on overall industrial capacity or utilization rates, the
Federal Reserve first estimates annual capacity indexes from the source
data. Capacity data reported in physical units from government sources
(primarily from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of
Energy's Energy Information Administration) and trade sources are
available for portions of several industries in manufacturing (e.g., paper,
industrial chemicals, petroleum refining, motor vehicles), as well as for
electric utilities and mining; these industries represent about 25 percent of
total industrial capacity. When physical product data are unavailable for
manufacturing industries, capacity indexes are based on responses to the
Bureau of the Census's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity (QSPC); these
industries account for a bit less than 70 percent of total industry capacity.
In the absence of utilization data for a few mining and petroleum series, capacity
is based on trends through peaks in production (roughly 5 percent of total
industry capacity). A detailed description of the methodology used to
construct the capacity indexes is available on the Board's web site
(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/CapNotes.htm).
Aggregation Methodology. Monthly capacity aggregates are calculated
in three steps: (1) utilization aggregates are calculated on an annual basis
through the most recent full year as capacity-weighted aggregates of
individual utilization rates; (2) the annual aggregate capacity is derived
from the corresponding production and utilization aggregates; (3) the
monthly capacity aggregate is obtained by interpolating the annual capacity aggregate
with a Fisher index of its constituent monthly capacity series. Utilization rates for the
individual series and aggregates are calculated by dividing the pertinent
monthly production index by the related capacity index.
Consistency. A major aim is that the Federal Reserve utilization rates be
consistent over time so that, for example, a rate of 85 percent means about
the same degree of tightness that it meant in the past. A major task for the
Federal Reserve in developing reasonable and consistent time series of
capacity and utilization is dealing with inconsistencies between the
movements of the industrial production index and the survey-based
utilization rates. The McGraw-Hill/DRI Survey, now discontinued, was
the primary source of manufacturing utilization rates for many years. This
was a survey of large companies that reported, on average, higher
utilization rates than those reported by establishments covered by the Census
Bureau's annual Survey of Plant Capacity (the predecessor to the QSPC) for the
fourteen years they overlapped. Adjustments have been made to keep the industry
utilization rates currently reported by the Federal Reserve roughly in line
with rates formerly reported by McGraw-Hill. As a consequence, the rates
reported by the Federal Reserve tend to be higher than the rates reported in
the QSPC.
Perspective. Over the 1972-2007 period, the average total industry
utilization rate is 81.0 percent; for manufacturing, the average factory
operating rate has been 79.7 percent. 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. The highs and lows in capacity utilization shown in table 7 are
specific to each series and do not all occur in the same month.
