10 Suvey Desciption This epot is compiled fom esults of the U.S. Census Bueau s Manufactues Shipments, Inventoies, and Odes (M3) suvey. This suvey povides statistics on manufactues' value of shipments, new odes (net of cancellations), end-of-month ode backlog (unfilled odes), end-of-month total inventoy (at cuent cost o maket value), and inventoies by stage of fabication (mateials and supplies, wok-in-pocess, and finished goods). The M3 includes appoximately 4,300 epoting units. Units may be divisions of divesified lage companies, lage homogenous companies, o single-unit manufactues in 89 industy categoies. Due to the small monthly sample, these 89 categoies have been combined into 65 publication levels. The suvey methodology assumes that the month-to-month changes of the total opeations of those companies in the monthly suvey effectively epesent the month-to-month movements of all establishments that make up the categoy. The cuent coveage levels in the suvey show that epoted data in the monthly suvey epesent appoximately 60 pecent of the shipments estimates at the total manufactuing level. Data published epesent manufactuing in a calenda month. The data collection is based on a voluntay suvey authoized by Title 13 of the United States Code. The data pesented in this elease ae based on data obtained fom a panel of 4,300 epoting units and povide an indication of the activity within the manufactuing secto. The esults diffe fom what would be obtained fom a complete enumeation of all manufactuing companies. In addition, a diffeent panel of 4,300 companies would yield diffeent esults. The M3 panel is compised of companies with $500 million o moe in shipments and a limited numbe of smalle companies. Fom a statistical pespective, the panel is not a pobability sample; theefoe, the sampling eos that ae nomally povided with sample suveys cannot be measued. Nonsampling eos ae attibutable to many souces. The use of company o divisional epots to estimate the monthly change fo establishments is one souce of nonsampling eo. The use of pimaily lage companies to epesent the month-to-month movement of all companies is anothe potential souce. Any coections will be published in the full epot. Coections eceived afte the full epot will be eleased in the next month s advance epot. Any evisions made late than two months will be eflected in the annual benchmak publication.
