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.
Obstacles to production
Every last month in a quarter manufacturers indicate whether there are
bottlenecks in production, e.g. insufficient demand, insufficient
capacity, labour shortage.
Obstacles (techn.cap.and/or materials)
Too few machines or installations to be able to meet demand and
or lack of materials.
Until the end of 2002 excluding lack of materials.
