The United States Census Bureau has conducted surveys of manufacturing activity since 1810 with fluctuating frequency. Between 1919 and 1939 the Census of Manufactures (CM) was conducted biennially. This data collection consists of individual-plant data from the Census of Manufactures for 1929, 1931, 1933, and 1935, the only years in this span for which original returns are available. The records of the Motor Vehicle Industry have been coded to produce an electronic data set to provide the basis for microeconomic evidence for the study of the Great Depression. The data set contains observations on: basic information about the plants (e.g. name, location, owner, etc.), products made and materials used, operation and working hours, employment, wages and salaries, costs and amount of materials used, value and quantity of products by type, and power used.

The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) provides key intercensal measures of manufacturing activity, products, and location for the public and private sectors. The ASM provides the best current measure of current U.S. manufacturing industry outputs, inputs, and operating status, and is the primary basis for updates of the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD). Census Bureau staff and academic researchers with sworn agent status use the LRD for micro data analysis.

The Census of Manufacturers is part of the Economic Census series. The Location of Manufacturing Plants file provides information on the number of manufacturing establishments in each of approximately 450 manufacturing industries, classified according to their employment size and the State and county within which they are located. Each record is associated with a particular industry and a particular county (or State of U.S. Summary) and contains the number of establishments in seven employment size categories. There is a record for each industry-county or industry-State combination with one or more manufacturing plants.

The Census of Manufacturers is part of the Economic Census series. This collection contains data on establishments employing persons primarily engaged in manufacturing. The data contain industry-specific summary statistics for industries for different variables. The statistics in these files correspond to the selected data tables from reports published in the 1972 Census of Manufactures: Industry Series tables 3, 4, and 7a; Area Series tables 3-8; General Summary table 3. Data are presented in these files for 1972 only, even though selected items for 1967 may appear in corresponding tables. Data are provided for all States, standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs), counties, and slected places.

Abstract

The Census of Manufacturing Establishments (CME) 1996/97 is the seventh in the series of CMEs carried out in Nepal since 1964/65. The primary objective of CME is to provide updated data on the composition, growth and volume of manufacturing sector. The census is conducted in “Establishment Approach”. The reference period is considered as the fiscal year 1996/97. There were 3557 establishments found operated throughout the country engaging 10 or more persons irrespective of using power machines. Such establishments are called modern manufacturing establishments. Gross value added (GVA) contribution of modern manufacturing sector is Rs. 21,875,315 at current prices.

Following the international practices, the establishments surveyed are classified according to the Nepal Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC) at 4 digit level and designed results accordingly. There are altogether 19 tables presented in the CME final report at national level including employment and earning, fuel, raw material, value of shipment, industrial services and non-industrial services, indirect tax, stocks, capacity utilization, fixed assets.

10 indicators including number of establishments, number of persons engaged, number of employees, wages and salaries, change in stocks at the end of the year, gross addition to fixed assets, gross fixed assets at the end of the year, census input, census output and census value added are defined as principal indicators. The principal indicator tables of Nepal and Urban/Rural are prepared by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit levels in the National Report. But the principal indicator by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged, and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit level are also kept in the District Level report.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]; Self-administered

Research instrument

The questionnaire for the CME is a structured questionnaire based on the Recommendation of Statistics Section, Strategic Research and Economy Branch of UNIDO. It was designed to fulfill the National Accounts requirements. It contains 16 sections as stated below:

1. Introduction
2. Legal Status
3. Ownership
4. Major Activity
5. Employment
6. Production, Purchase and Sale of Fuels
7. Expenditure Paid for Industrial Services
8. Cost of Raw Materials Purchased

11. Stock
12. Expenses for Non-Industrial Services
13. Indirect Taxes
14. Income Received from Non-Industrial Services
15. Fixed Assets
16. Production Capacity Utilization

Cleaning operations

A control form was used to verify establishment level input-output ratio as well as profit or loss status of the establishment at data collection stage. The data collection work was done only by the experienced permanent staff of CBS and its field offices. They were trained by the census officials of CBS worked in the head office. Statistical officers of branch offices were considered as supervisor of the census.

During Data entry, many range checks were introduced to minimize range errors. Some cross checks were used to control errors relating to the universe and pre-question of the entry variable during data entry. One big batch edit file with many edit commands were run and verify the observed missing or overvalued or undervalued data mostly by contacting the respondent of the establishment by telephone.

To establish consistency between the CPC of data recorded in section 9 of the questionnaire and NSIC of section 4, grouping of raw materials and products was made by CPC to make one to one correspondence with NSIC.

Data appraisal

CME 1996/97 data appraisal may be categorized by 3 stages: Pilot survey, data collection and entry/processing.

A pilot survey was conducted in 1996. A technical committee headed by the Director General of CBS was formed to supervise, suggest, control and review the overall process of the census from questionnaire design to data dissemination.

After entering and editing data in ACCESS, frequencies and percentage distribution of the principal indicators like total number of establishment, total number of persons engaged, total number of employees, value of input, value of output, value added by NSIC, ecological belts, development regions, districts were tabulated and compared with that of previous census. Further, average output, value added, number of persons engaged, number of employees and fixed asset per establishment were calculated and discussed before finalizing the report of the census in the technical committee. Final results were immediately published when technical committee approved.

Abstract

The Central Bureau of Statistics has been conducting the Census of Manufacturing Establishment every five year. This report contains the numerical result of CME 2001/02, which is the eighth in the serial. As per the international practice, the industries in this report are classified according to Nepal Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC), which in turn is based on International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC).The objective of the census is to fill the gap of information about the changes taking place in the manufacturing sector of the economy. The census covers all manufacturing establishments engaging 10 or more persons. The reference period for the census was the fiscal year 2001/02.

Ten (10) indicators including number of establishments, number of persons engaged, number of employees, wages and salaries, change in stocks at the end of the year, gross addition to fixed assets, gross fixed assets at the end of the year, census input, census output and census value added are defined as principal indicators. The principal indicator tables of Nepal and Urban/Rural areas are prepared by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit levels in the National Report. But the principal indicator by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged, and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit level are also kept in the District Level report.

The CME-2001/02 reveals that the number of operating establishments has declined in comparison to the last census (1996/1997). Similarly, the number of persons engaged has also declined. However, the census output and value-added has increased during the same period.

Cleaning operations

A control form was introduced to find out the profit or loss and value added of each establishment. This form was filled by the supervisor of the BSO immediately after completing the interview of the establishment. If any inconsistencies were found during this phase, BSO's Supervisor/Officer contact to respective establishment by telephone to verify the facts. In case no telephone was available then forms were sent back to the respective establishment for verification.

During Data entry, many range checks were introduced to minimize range errors. Some cross checks were used to control errors relating to the universe and pre-question of the entry variable during data entry. One big batch edit file with many edit commands were run and verify the observed missing or overvalued or undervalued data mostly by contacting the respondent of the establishment by telephone.

To establish consistency between the CPC of data recorded in section 9 of the questionnaire and NSIC of section 4, grouping of raw materials and products was made by CPC to make one to one correspondence with NSIC.

Data appraisal

CME 2001/02 data appraisal may be categorized by 3 stages: Pilot survey, during data collection, during entry and processing. A pilot survey was conducted in 2000-01 by covering one district from each ecological belt. A technical committee headed by the Director General of CBS was formed to supervise, suggest, control and review the overall process of the census from questionnaire design to data dissemination.

A control form was used to verify establishment level input-output ratio as well as profit or loss status of the establishment at data collection stage. The data collection work was done only by the experienced permanent staff of CBS and its field offices. They were trained by the census officials of CBS worked in the head office. Statistical officers of branch offices were considered as supervisor of the census.

After entering and editing data in Cs-Pro data entry application, frequencies and percentage distribution of the principal indicators like total number of establishment, total number of persons engaged, total number of employees, value of input, value of output, value added by NSIC, ecological belts, development regions, districts were tabulated and compared with that of the previous census. Further, average output, value added, number of persons engaged, number of employees and fixed asset per establishment were calculated to discuss the final report of the census with the technical committee. The final results were published after the approval the committee.
