Description topics

Production and capacity utilisation

The development of production in the previous month compared with the
month before (realisation) and the anticipated development of production
in the subsequent three months. Seasonal effects are taken into account
by the respondents. Other indicators closely related to production are
utilisation, the (technical) production capacity and obstacles to
production. The answers are weighted according to the company's turnover
value.

Capacity utilisation: Capacity utilisation in % of the available production capacity in the last
month of the quarter. Major repairs may result in a reduction of capacity
utilisation. Overtime and shift work may result in a capacity utilisation
of more than 100%.

Opinion on production capacity

Response percentages to the quarterly question: 'In view of expected
sales, do you think the present production capacity is (too) large,
satisfactory or (too) small?'.

Capacity too large

Capacity satisfactory

Capacity too small

Capacity balance: The weighted percentage of manufacturers reporting capacity is too
large minus the percentage reporting it is too small. Compared with
previous balances, this balance gives an insight into the current over or
under capacity.

Balances per indicator

This option allows a prompt selection of the balance per indicator without
having to choose between other results (large, small, increase and
decrease), incorporated in the balance. The balance is the difference
between the response percentages increased/large/improved and
decreased/small/declined.

Production

Opinion on production capacity: The weighted percentage of manufacturers reporting production capacity is
too large minus the percentage reporting it is too small.
This balance gives an insight into the current under or over capacity
compared to the previous balances.
