 Full Report on Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories and Orders 

June 2011 

Summary 

 New orders for manufactured goods in June, down two of the last three months, decreased $3.8 billion or 0.8 

percent to $440.7 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau 

reported today. This followed a 0.6 percent May 

increase. Excluding transportation, new orders increased 

0.1 percent.

 Unfilled orders, up fourteen of the last fifteen months, 

increased $2.5 billion or 0.3 percent to $863.2 billion. 

This followed a 0.9 percent May increase. The unfilled 

orders-to-shipments ratio was 6.08, down from 6.11 in 

May. 

 Inventories, up twenty of the last twenty one months, 

increased $1.4 billion or 0.2 percent to $594.4 billion. 

This was at the highest level since the series was first 

published on a NAICS basis in 1992 and followed a 0.8 

percent May increase. The inventories-to-shipments 

ratio was 1.34, unchanged from May.

decrease. Beverage and tobacco products, up four of the 

last five months, drove the increase, up $0.5 billion or 

3.9 percent to $12.6 billion. This was at the highest 

level since the series was first published on NAICS 

basis. 

 

Unfilled Orders 

 Unfilled orders for manufactured durable goods in 

June, up fourteen of the last fifteen months, increased 

$2.5 billion or 0.3 percent to $863.2 billion, revised from 

the previously published 0.2 percent increase. This 

followed a 0.9 percent May increase. 

 

 Machinery, up seventeen consecutive months, had the 

largest increase, $2.7 billion or 2.5 percent to $112.3 

billion. 

Inventories 

 Inventories of manufactured durable goods in June, up 

eighteen consecutive months, increased $1.8 billion or 

0.5 percent to $357.8 billion, revised from the previously 

published 0.4 percent increase. This was at the highest 

level since the series was first published on a NAICS 

basis and followed a 1.3 percent May increase. 

 

 Transportation equipment, also up eighteen 

consecutive months, had the largest increase, $1.2 billion 

or 1.1 percent to $109.0 billion. 

 Inventories of manufactured nondurable goods, down 

two consecutive months, decreased $0.4 billion or 0.2 

percent to $236.5 billion. This followed a slight May 

decrease. Petroleum and coal products, also down two 

consecutive months, drove the decrease, down $1.0 

billion or 1.8 percent to $52.8 billion. 

 By stage of fabrication, June materials and supplies 

decreased slightly in durable goods and decreased 0.8 

percent in nondurable goods. Work in process increased 

1.0 percent in durable goods and 0.8 percent in 

nondurable goods. Finished goods increased 0.5 percent 

in durable goods and decreased 0.1 percent in 

nondurable goods. 

Figures in text are adjusted for seasonality but not for inflation. Figures on new and unfilled orders exclude data for semiconductor 

manufacturing. For data, call (301) 763-4673 or go to <http://www.census.gov/m3>. The advance report on durable goods for July is scheduled for release on August 24, 2011, at 8:30 a.m. EDT and the full report on August

 Preliminary r Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.

1

 Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted 

estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted data for non-calendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences,

where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the latest annual review of the model parameters. Estimates are not adjusted for price changes.

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

2 Estimates and percent changes of shipments for the semiconductor industry are no longer shown separately, but are included in computers and electronic products, and all other applicable

 aggregate totals.

 Preliminary r Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.

1

 Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally

 adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted data for non-calendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday

and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the latest annual review of the model parameters. Estimates are not

adjusted for price changes.

2

 Data on new orders are not available for the semiconductor industry. Estimates and percent changes for new orders exclude semiconductor industry data.

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. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see <http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3/>.

 The current month revisions are the difference between the advance percent change and the percent change as shown in this

 publication.

 The twelve month revisions are the differences between the month-to-month percent changes of the preliminary and

final estimates. The monthly averages are the simple averages of the absolute values of the differences for the months specified. 

The advance to final percent change revisions for the durable goods industries are shown in the advance report for the month.

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-inprocess, and finished goods). The M3 includes approximately 4,300 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 65 

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 4,300 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 4,300 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. Any corrections will be published in the full report. 

Corrections received after the full report will be released in the next month’s advance report. Any 

revisions made later than two months will be reflected in the annual benchmark publication.
