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.
Forecast production
Response percentages to the question: 'Do you expect production to
increase, decrease or remain the same in the next three months?'
Based on their expertise and information (e.g. order books), manufacturers
forecast the direction in which production will develop.
Forecast increase
Forecast remain the same
Forecast decrease
Forecast balance
The weighted percentage of manufacturers who expect production
to increase minus the percentage of manufacturers who expect
production to decrease. This balance gives an insight into the direction
in which production will develop in the subsequent three months.
