for bringing the stocks up to an appropriate level.
Value of orders received last 3 months
Weighted response rates to the question:

orders received in the last three months has increased.
Order intake remained unchanged
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of
orders received in the last three months has remained unchanged.
Order intake decreased
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the
orders received in the last three months has decreased.

reveived not to be relevant for their enterprise plus the weighted
rate of producers who were not asked the question.

The weighted response rate of producers who reported an
increase in orders received minus the weighted response rate of producers that reported a decrease. This balance gives insight into the development of value of the total orders received in the last three months.
