Monthly Survey of Manufacturing

Abstract

This publication provides estimated values of manufacturers' shipments, inventories and orders by month. Data are presented for 22 major groups and selected individual industries at the 3 and 4 digit level of detail, as defined by the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification, as well as aggregates for durable, non-durable and total manufacturing. Major group industry data are shown with and without adjustment for seasonal variation. Unadjusted shipment totals by province and by major groups within provinces are also shown. These data are used to monitor the business cycle in the key manufacturing sector of the economy; to evaluate and develop financial and industrial policy; and to provide market data at the detailed industry level. Related information on manufacturers' opinions about employment and production prospects over the next 3 months and on the current state of inventories and orders are available from the Business Conditions Survey (BCS). The survey is carried out at the beginning of January, April, July and October. Responses are available about 5 days after the reference month in Statistics Canada's The daily. The BCS balance of opinion data often gives a good guide to the direction of change, at least a month in advance of the corresponding quantitative data.
