Full Report on Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories and Orders

June 2014

Summary

 New orders for manufactured goods in June, up four of the last five months, increased $5.7 billion or 1.1 percent to $503.2 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau reported today. This was at the highest level since the series was 

first published on a NAICS basis in 1992 and followed a

0.6 percent May decrease. Excluding transportation, 

new orders increased 1.1 percent. 

 Shipments, up four of the last five months, increased

$2.5 billion or 0.5 percent to $499.8 billion. This was 

also at the highest level since the series was first 

published on a NAICS basis and followed a 0.1 percent May decrease.

 Unfilled orders, up fourteen of the last fifteen months, increased $10.4 billion or 1.0 percent to $1,098.5 billion. This was also at the highest level since the series was

ratio was 6.52, unchanged from May.

 Inventories, up nineteen of the last twenty months, increased $1.8 billion or 0.3 percent to $653.8 billion. This was also at the highest level since the series was 

first published on a NAICS basis and followed a 0.8

percent to $73.3 billion.

Unfilled Orders 

 Unfilled orders for manufactured durable goods in 

June, up fourteen of the last fifteen months, increased 

$10.4 billion or 1.0 percent to $1,098.5 billion, revised 

from the previously published 0.8 percent increase. This 

was at the highest level since the series was first

Inventories

 Inventories of manufactured durable goods in June, up fourteen of the last fifteen months, increased $1.6 billion 

or 0.4 percent to $399.6 billion, unchanged from the 

previously published increase. This was at the highest 

level since the series was first published on a NAICS 

basis and followed a 1.0 percent May increase.

 Transportation equipment, also up fourteen of the last 

fifteen months, led the increase, $1.0 billion or 0.8

percent to $128.8 billion.

 Inventories of manufactured nondurable goods, up six

consecutive months, increased $0.2 billion or 0.1 percent 

to $254.2 billion. This was at the highest level since the series was first published on a NAICS basis and 

followed a 0.6 percent May increase. Petroleum and 

coal products, up four of the last five months, led the 

increase, $0.2 billion or 0.4 percent to $50.4 billion. 

 By stage of fabrication, June materials and supplies

increased 0.5 percent in durable goods and decreased 0.2

percent in nondurable goods. Work in process increased 

0.6 percent in durable goods and 0.2 percent in

nondurable goods. Finished goods increased slightly in 

durable goods and 0.2 percent in nondurable goods.

 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/>.

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.
