semiconductor shipments, orders, or inventories.

See note at end of Table 2 relating to survey error and revision.


Survey Description

This report is compiled from results of the U.S.
Census Bureau’s Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey. This survey
provides statistics on manufacturers value of
shipments, new orders (net of cancellations), end-of-
month order backlog (unfilled orders), end-of-month
total inventory (at current cost or market value), and
inventories by stage of fabrication (materials and
supplies, work-in-process, and finished goods). The
M3 includes approximately 5,000 reporting units.
Units may be divisions of diversified large
companies, large homogenous companies, or single-
unit manufacturers in 89 industry categories. Due to
the small monthly sample, these 89 categories have
been combined into 59 publication levels. The
survey methodology assumes that the month-to-month
changes of the total operations of those companies in
the monthly survey effectively represent the month-
to-month movements of all establishments that make
up the category. The current coverage levels in the
survey show that reported data in the monthly survey
represent approximately 60 percent of the shipments
estimates at the total manufacturing level. Data
published represent manufacturing in a calendar
month. The data collection is based on a voluntary
survey authorized by Title 13 of the United States
Code.

The data presented in this release are based on data
obtained from a panel of 5,000 reporting units and
provide an indication of the activity within the
manufacturing sector. The results differ from what
would be obtained from a complete enumeration of
all manufacturing companies. In addition, a different
panel of 5,000 companies would yield different
results. The M3 panel is comprised of companies
with $500 million or more in shipments and a limited
number of smaller companies. From a statistical
perspective, the panel is not a probability sample;
therefore, the sampling errors that are normally
provided with sample surveys cannot be measured.
Nonsampling errors are attributable to many sources.
The use of company or divisional reports to estimate
the monthly change for establishments is one source
of nonsampling error. The use of primarily large
companies to represent the month-to-month
movement of all companies is another potential
source.

Additional survey documentation can be found on our
web site: http://www.census.gov/indicator/www/m3/.

* Aggregate estimates and percent changes exclude semiconductor industry data. Due to the number of large semiconductor manufacturers choosing not to participate in
this voluntary monthly survey, the Census Bureau cannot currently produce monthly estimates of semiconductor shipments, orders, or inventories.

voluntary monthly survey, the Census Bureau cannot currently produce monthly estimates of semiconductor shipments, orders, or inventories.

* Due to the number of large semiconductor manufacturers choosing not to participate in this voluntary monthly survey, the Census Bureau cannot currently produce monthly

estimates of semiconductor shipments, orders, or inventories.
Note: Estimates of manufacturers’ shipments, inventories and orders are subject to survey error and revision. One major component of survey error is.
‘nonsampling error, which includes errors of coverage, response, and nonreporting. Since the survey panel is not a probability sample, estimates of sampling
error cannot be calculated. Further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations are contained in our most recent annual benchmark publication,
Current Industrial Reports: M3-1(01), "Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders: 1992-2001."

Summary

New orders for manufactured goods, excluding semi-
conductors, in May increased $2.1 billion or 0.7 percent to
$321.0 billion, the Department of Commerce, Census Bureau
reported today. This followed a 0.7 percent April increase.
Year to date, new orders for 2002 were 3.9 percent below the
same period a year ago.

Shipments, excluding semiconductors, increased $0.7
billion or 0.2 percent to $323.6 billion, following a 2.3
percent April increase. Year to date, shipments for 2002
were 4.0 percent below the same period a year ago.

Unfilled orders, excluding semiconductors, decreased $2.6
billion or 0.5 percent to $496.6 billion, following a 0.8
percent April decrease. The unfilled orders-to-shipments
ratio was 4.03, down 0.7 percent from 4.06 in April.

Inventories, excluding semiconductors, down sixteen
consecutive months, decreased $1.9 billion or 0.4 percent to
$428.2 billion, following a 0.3 percent April decrease. The
inventories-to-shipments ratio was 1.32, down 0.8 percent
from 1.33 in April.

New Orders

New Orders for manufactured durable goods, excluding
semiconductors, in May increased $1.5 billion or 0.9 percent
to $173.9 billion, revised from the previously published 0.6
percent increase.

Fabricated metal products had the largest durable goods
increase, $0.5 billion or 2.4 percent to $21.4 billion.
Machinery also increased by $0.5 billion or 2.1 percent to
$22.9 billion. Transportation equipment increased $0.3
billion or 0.6 percent to $50.4 billion, led mostly by
nondefense aircraft and parts which increased $1.9 billion.

New orders for nondurable goods increased $0.6 billion or
0.4 percent to $147.2 billion, led by an increase in beverage
and tobacco products.

Shipments
Shipments of durable goods, excluding semiconductors, in

May increased $0.1 billion to $176.5 billion, revised from the
previously published $176.1 billion.

Machinery had the largest increase, $0.8 billion or 3.3
percent to $23.5 billion. Transportation equipment had the
largest decrease, $1.0 billion or 2.0 percent to $52.6 billion,
led by motor vehicles and parts.

Shipments of nondurable goods increased $0.6 billion or
0.4 percent to $147.2 billion, led by an increase in beverage
and tobacco products.

Unfilled Orders

Unfilled Orders for durable goods, excluding semi-
conductors, in May decreased $2.6 billion or 0.5 percent to
$496.6 billion, revised from the previously published 0.6
percent decrease.

Transportation equipment had the largest decrease, $2.2
billion or 0.9 percent to $252.6 billion. Machinery, down
five consecutive months, decreased $0.6 billion or 1.1
percent to $50.5 billion.

Inventories

Inventories of durable goods, excluding semiconductors,
in May, down sixteen consecutive months, decreased $1.3
billion or 0.5 percent to $266.5 billion, revised from the
previously published 0.6 percent decrease. Durable goods
Inventories were at their lowest level since August 1996.

Computers and electronic products, excluding
semiconductors, had the largest decrease, $0.4 billion or
1.0 percent to $44.0 billion, mostly due to nondefense
communication equipment. Machinery, down fourteen
consecutive months, decreased $0.3 billion or 0.7 percent
to $45.4 billion. Fabricated metal products, down sixteen
consecutive months, also decreased $0.3 billion or 1.1
percent to $30.7 billion.

Inventories of nondurable goods decreased $0.6 billion
or 0.4 percent to $161.7 billion.

By stage of fabrication, excluding semiconductors, May
materials and supplies decreased 0.9 percent in durables
and 0.6 percent in nondurables. Work in process
decreased 0.3 percent in durables and increased 0.5 percent
in nondurables. Finished goods decreased 0.2 percent in
durables and 0.5 percent in nondurables.
