Manufacturing Purchasing Manager Survey Description

1. Explanation of main indicators

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is an index compiled from the monthly survey results of the company's purchasing managers. It covers all aspects of enterprise procurement, production, and circulation. It is the first international monitoring trend for macroeconomic trends. One of the sex indexes has a strong predictive and early warning effect. PMI usually takes 50% as the cut-off point of economic strength. When PMI is higher than 50%, it reflects the expansion of manufacturing economy; below 50% reflects the contraction of manufacturing economy.

2. Scope of investigation

It covers 31 major industries in the manufacturing sector of the National Economic Industry Classification (GB/T4754-2011). Since January 2013, the survey sample has expanded from 820 to 3,000. Due to the small sample size and insufficient representation in some industries, some industries with less sample size have been merged according to the principle of similar homogeneity in the industry, and 21 industries have been merged.

3. Survey method

The manufacturing purchasing manager survey adopts the PPS (Probability Proportional to Size) sampling method, which is based on the major categories of the manufacturing industry. The sample size of the industry is allocated according to the added value of the added value of the manufacturing industry. The sample use in the layer and the main business of the enterprise. The probability of business income is proportional to the extraction.

The survey was organized and implemented by the investigation team directly under the National Bureau of Statistics. The national statistical network direct reporting system was used to conduct a monthly questionnaire survey on the enterprise procurement manager.

4. Calculation method

The manufacturing purchasing manager questionnaire covers production volume, new orders, export orders, existing orders, finished goods inventory, purchase volume, imports, purchase prices, raw material inventory, employees, supplier delivery time, production and operation activity expectations, etc. 12 Questions. The diffusion index is calculated separately for each question, which is the percentage of the number of companies that are responding positively plus half of the percentage of the answer.

PMI is a composite index calculated by weighting five diffusion indices (classification indices). The five sub-indices and their weights are based on their prior impact on the economy. Specifically, it includes: new order index, weight is 30%; production index, weight is 25%; employee index, weight is 20%; supplier delivery time index, weight is 15%; raw material inventory index, weight It is 10%. Among them, the supplier delivery time index is the inverse index, and the inverse operation is performed when synthesizing the PMI composite index.

5. Division of the eastern, central, western and northeastern regions

The eastern region includes 10 provinces (cities) including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Guangdong, and Hainan; the central region includes six provinces including Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hunan; Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, 12 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions); the northeastern region includes Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces.

6. Seasonal adjustment

The Purchasing Manager Survey is a monthly survey that is subject to seasonal fluctuations and data fluctuations. The PMI composite index and each sub-index released today are seasonally adjusted data.
