METODOLOŠKA POJASNILA METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS 
  
NAMEN STATISTIČNEGA RAZISKOVANJA PURPOSE OF STATISTICAL SURVEY 
Namen kvalitativne Ankete o poslovnih tendencah (PA-IND/M) je 
mesečno pridobivanje informacij o trenutnih stanjih glavnih ekonomskih 
kazalcev ter ocenitev njihovega gibanja v naslednjih mesecih. Rezultati 
anket so osnova za izračun kazalca zaupanja v predelovalnih dejavnostih 
in kazalca gospodarske klime, ki vključuje poleg kazalca zaupanja v 
predelovalnih dejavnostih tudi kazalec zaupanja pri potrošnikih in kazalec 
zaupanja v trgovini na drobno. 
The purpose of the qualitative Survey on Business Tendency (hereinafter:
PA-IND/M) is to get monthly information about current situations of major
economic indicators and to evaluate their movement in the following
months. The results of the survey are the basis for evaluation of the
confidence indicator in manufacturing and latter on also for the sentiment
indicator, which also includes the consumer confidence indicator and the
confidence indicator in retail trade. 
  
Panelno anketo o poslovnih tendencah v predelovalnih dejavnostih 
izvajamo v Sloveniji od aprila 1995 s poenotenim vprašalnikom, na 
podlagi poenotene metodologije in z enako  periodiko, kot jo izvajajo v 
državah članicah Evropske unije že več desetletij. Zato so vsi podatki 
neposredno primerljivi. 
We have been carrying out the Survey on Business Tendency in
Manufacturing in Slovenia since April 1995 with the harmonised
questionnaire, methodology and periodicity, which have been used in EU
Member States for several decades. Therefore, all data are directly
comparable. 
  
ENOTA OPAZOVANJA OBSERVATION UNITS 
Opazujemo podjetja, ki so razvrščena v predelovalne dejavnosti, to je v 
oddelke Standardne klasifikacije dejavnosti (SKD) od 15 do 36, ter so bila 
izbrana v panel podjetij na podlagi dveh meril: 
We are monitoring units that are registered in manufacturing - divisions 15
to 36 of the Standard Classification of Activities (SKD). They were
selected into the panel by two criteria: 
 velikosti podjetja (število zaposlenih, skladno z zakonom o 
gospodarskih družbah) in  
 the size of the enterprise (the number of employees in accordance with
the Companies Act) and 
 razvrstitve podjetja po SKD-ju.  the classification of the enterprise according to the SKD. 
  
VIRI SOURCES 
Na vprašalnik odgovarjajo direktorji podjetij ali drugi vodilni delavci med 1. 
in 10. v mesecu. Rezultate pa objavimo že okoli 20. v istem mesecu. 
Persons responding to the monthly questionnaire are managers of
enterprises or other executives. They respond between the 1st and the
10th in the month. Results are published approximately on the 20th of the
current month. 
  
ZAJETJE COVERAGE 
V panelni vzorec smo zajeli vas velika podjetja, 56 % srednjevelikih (ali 
59 % zaposlenih) in 18 % malih podjetij (ali 20 % zaposlenih). Panelni 
vzorec pokriva 37 % podjetij vzorčnega okvira ali 74 % zaposlenih v 
predelovalnih dejavnostih. 
The panel includes all large enterprises, 56% of medium-sized enterprises
(or 59% of employees) and 18% of small enterprises (or 20% of
employees); the panel covers 37% of the enterprises of the studied
population or 74% of employees in manufacturing. 
  
NAČIN ZBIRANJA PODATKOV METHOD OF DATA COLLECTING 
Anketo izvajamo mesečno po pošti, vsako četrtletje (januar, april, julij in 
oktober) pa mesečni anketi dodamo še sedem četrtletnih vprašanj. 
The survey is carried out monthly by mail, each quarter (January, April,
July and October) we are including seven more questions to the monthly
survey. 
  
UTEŽEVANJE ODGOVOROV WEIGHTS FOR RESPONSES 
Odgovori so uteženi tako, da odražajo relativno pomembnost 
posameznega podjetja v vzorcu. Znotraj oddelkov SKD so odgovori 
uteženi s številom zaposlenih. 
Responses to individual questions are weighted so that they reflect
relative importance of individual enterprise in the panel. Inside divisions of
Standard Classification of Activities (SKD) responses are weighted with
the number of employees. 
  
NEODGOVORI NON-RESPONSES 
Neodgovore vsak mesec obdelamo skladno s poenoteno metodologijo; 
delež neodgovorov se giba med 3-15 % (povprečno 9 %). 
Non-responses are processed every month in accordance with the
harmonised methodology and vary between 3 and 15% (9% on average). 
  
DEFINICIJE DEFINITIONS 
Grafikoni prikazujejo ravnotežja po posameznih vprašanjih. Ravnotežje je 
razlika med pozitivnimi in negativnimi odgovori, izražena v odstotkih. 
Ravnotežja prikazujejo gibanje opazovanih ekonomskih spremenljivk 
(stanj in pričakovanj), ne pa dejanskih velikosti ekonomskih kazalcev. 
The charts show the balance by individual questions. The balance is the
difference between positive and negative answers, expressed in percent.
The balance shows the movement of observed economic variables
(present situation and future expectations), and not the real size of
economic indicators.

Rapid Reports No 119/2004 7 
 
Ko so prikazane daljše časovne vrste podatkov ali primerjave kazalcev z 
EU so vrednosti desezonirane. To so vrednosti, pri katerih je izključen 
vpliv sezone,  vsebujejo pa trend-cikel in naključno komponento. Podatki 
za EU so desezonirani z metodo DAINTIES, za Slovenijo pa z metodo 
TRAMO/SEATS, ki temelji na ARIMA modelih. Pri oblikovanju modelov je 
upoštevano časovno obdobje od marca 1995 do januarja 2004. Zaradi 
narave podatkov se modeli za leto 2004 razlikujejo v primerjavi z modeli 
za leto 2003 le pri kazalcu zaupanja. Zaradi narave podatkov serija 
Ustreznost proizvodnih zmogljivosti ni desezonirana, saj sezonska 
komponenta ni prisotna. 
In the charts with longer time series or by comparisons with EU indicators,
data are seasonally adjusted. Values are adjusted for seasonal
component, which include trend-cycle component and irregular
component. Data for EU are seasonally adjusted by DAINTIES method
and for Slovenia by TRAMO/SEATS method, which is based on ARIMA
models. The designing of the models is based on the time period from
March 1995 till January 2004. Because of the nature of data, models for
2004 differ from those used in 2003 only by confidence indicator.
Because of the nature of data the series Current production capacity is
not seasonally adjusted, because of absence of seasonal component. 
   
Kazalec zaupanja je povprečje odgovorov (ravnotežij) na vprašanja o 
proizvodnih pričakovanjih, skupnih naročilih in zalogah končnih izdelkov 
(obrnjen predznak). 
The confidence indicator is defined as the arithmetic mean of the answers
(balances) to the questions on production expectation, assessment of
overall order books and assessment of stocks of finished products (the
latter with inverted sign). 
  
OBJAVLJANJE PODATKOV PUBLISHING 
Sodelujoči v anketi prejmejo informacijo o oddelku SKD, v katerega se po 
dejavnosti razvrščajo in o predelovalnih dejavnostih, vendar le, če so 
izpolnili vprašalnik za tekoči mesec. 
Persons participating in the survey get the special information for division
in which they are classified and for manufacturing. They get it only if they
responded in the current month. 
  
Drugim uporabnikom so dostopni podatki na ravni predelovalnih dejavnosti 
in njenih oddelkov in po velikostnih razredih podjetij. Podatki so mesečno 
objavljeni v Statističnih informacijah – Poslovne tendence v predelovalnih 
dejavnostih in v podatkovni bazi SI-STAT na naslovu http://www.stat.si/. 
Other users can get data for manufacturing and its divisions and data for
different size groups of enterprises. Data are published in the monthly

KOMENTAR COMMENT 
  
Aprila so direktorji tendence v predelovalnih dejavnostih ocenili boljše kot 
pretekli mesec – desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja je bila za 3 
odstotne točke višja kot v preteklem mesecu in je dosegla najvišjo 
vrednost po oktobru 2000. V primerjavi z lanskim aprilom je bila ta 
vrednost višja za 17 odstotnih točk, glede  na lansko povprečje pa za 10 
odstotnih točk. 
In April managers estimated business tendencies in manufacturing as
being better than in the previous month. The seasonally adjusted value of
the confidence indicator rose by 3 percentage points compared to the
previous month and reached the highest value since October 2000.
Compared to April 2003 it rose by 17 percentage points and was 10
percentage points above last year’s average. 
  
Na zvišanje kazalca zaupanja v tem mesecu sta najbolj vplivala porast 
skupnih naročil in padec ravni zalog končnih izdelkov. 
The evolution of the confidence indicator in this month was influenced by
the rise of overall order books and the fall of stocks of finished products. 
  
PROIZVODNJA in PROIZVODNA PRIČAKOVANJA PRODUCTION and PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS 
  
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnje se je v primerjavi s preteklim 
mesecem zvišala za 3 odstotne točke in dosegla najvišjo vrednost po 
juliju 2000. Glede na isti mesec lani je bila višja za 15 odstotnih točk, 
glede na lansko povprečje pa za 9 odstotnih točk.  
The seasonally adjusted value of the production indicator rose by 3
percentage points compared to the previous month and reached the
highest value since July 2000. Compared to April 2003 it was up by 15
percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 9 percentage
points. 
  
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnih pričakovanj za naslednje 3 
mesece se je zvišala za 3 odstotne točke. V primerjavi z istim mesecem 
lani je bila višja za 14 odstotnih točk in za 3 odstotne točke višja od 
lanskega povprečja.  
The seasonally adjusted value of production expectations for the next
three months rose by 3 percentage points. Compared to April 2003 it was
up by 14 percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 3
percentage points.  
  
ZAGOTOVLJENA PROIZVODNJA ASSURED PRODUCTION 
  
Ob aprilskem proizvodnem ritmu imajo podjetja zagotovljeno proizvodnjo 
v povprečju za 4,3 meseca. To je enako kot lani v tem mesecu in enako 
lanskemu povprečju.  
With the same production rhythm as in April, production in enterprises is
assured on average for the next 4.3 months. This is the same as in April
2003 and the same as last year’s average. 
  
Največ podjetij (18,1 %) ima proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za več 
kot 10 mesecev. Sledijo podjetja (15,5 %), ki imajo proizvodnjo 
zagotovljeno v povprečju za 1 mesec, in podjetja (15,1 %), ki imajo 
proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za 2 meseca. Za pol meseca ima 
zagotovljeno proizvodnjo v povprečju 5,6 % podjetij, ob aprilskem 
proizvodnem ritmu pa nima zagotovljene proizvodnje v povprečju 2,4 % 
podjetij. 
In most enterprises (18.1%) production is assured for more than 10
months. They are followed by enterprises whose production is assured for
one month (15.5%) and those whose production is assured for two
months (15.1%). Should the April production rhythm continue, 5.6% of
enterprises have production assured for half a month and 2.4% of
enterprises have no assured production. 
  
OMEJITVE V PROIZVODNJI LIMITS TO PRODUCTION 
  
Med omejitvenimi dejavniki v proizvodnji so prevladovali dejavniki iz 
skupine hude omejitve. V tem mesecu se je z njimi spopadalo 32 % 
zaposlenih (oziroma 34 % podjetij), kar je za 2 odstotni točki več kot lani v 
tem mesecu in 3 odstotne točke nad lanskim povprečjem. 
Among factors limiting production, severe obstacles prevailed. In April
2004, 32% of employees (34% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is
2 percentage points more than in April 2003 and 3 percentage points
above last year’s average. 
  
Sledili so omejitveni dejavniki iz skupine težave s preskrbo. V tem 
mesecu se je z njimi srečevalo 25 % zaposlenih (oziroma 27 % podjetij), 
kar je enako kot isti mesec lani in 4 odstotne točke nad lanskim 
povprečjem. 
The second most important limits were supply difficulties. In April 2004,
25% of employees (27% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is the
same as in April 2003 and 4 percentage points above last year’s average. 
  
Z dejavniki iz skupine šibko povpraševanje se je v tem mesecu srečalo 24 
% zaposlenih (oziroma 25 % podjetij) v predelovalnih dejavnostih. Glede 
na isti mesec lani je bil odstotek nižji za 2 odstotni točki in za 5 odstotnih 
točk pod lanskim povprečjem. 
The third most important limits were demand difficulties. In April 2004,
24% of employees (25% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is 2
percentage points less than in April 2003 and 5 percentage points below
last year’s average. 
  
19 % zaposlenih (oziroma 14 % podjetij) v tem mesecu ni imelo omejitev 
v proizvodnji. Glede na isti mesec lani je bil odstotek enak in 2 odstotni 
točki pod lanskim povprečjem. 
In April 2004, 19% of employees (14% of enterprises) faced no limits,
which is the same as in April 2003 and 2 percentage points below last
year’s average.

Podrobnejši pregled omejitvenih dejavnikov v proizvodnji pokaže, da je/so 
aprila:1) 
A more detailed overview of limits to production  shows that in April: 1) 
  
• 36 % podjetij (ali 29 % zaposlenih) omejevalo nezadostno domače

Največja omejitev v proizvodnji ostaja nezadostno domače 
povpraševanje, sledijo nezadostno tuje povpraševanje in pomanjkanje 
usposobljenih delavcev ter konkurenčni uvoz. Med omejitvenimi dejavniki 
v tem mesecu najbolj izstopajo pomanjkanje surovin in finančni problemi, 
s katerima se je srečevalo za 7 oziroma 3 odstotne točke več podjetij kot 
januarja. 
The most important factor limiting production is still insufficient domestic
demand, followed by insufficient foreign demand, shortage of skilled
labour and competitive imports. Limits to production that gained
importance in April 2004 are shortage of raw materials and financial
problems. Compared to January 2004, the number of enterprises that
selected these limits rose by 7 and 3 percentage points respectively. 
  
Le 14 % podjetij ni imelo omejitev v proizvodnji. Only 14% of enterprises experienced no limits to production. 
  
IZKORIŠČENOST ZMOGLJIVOSTI CAPACITY UTILISATION 
  
Aprilska povprečna izkoriščenost zmogljivosti je bila 81,5-odstotna ali za 
0,4 odstotne točke nižja kot januarja. V primerjavi z istim mesecem lani je 
bila za 0,8 odstotne točke višja in 0,5 odstotne točke nad lanskim 
povprečjem.  
In April the average capacity utilisation was 81.5%, which is 0.4
percentage point less than in January 2004. Compared to April 2003 it
was up by 0.8 percentage point and 0.5 percentage point above last
year’s average. 
  
USTREZNOST PROIZVODNIH ZMOGLJIVOSTI CURRENT PRODUCTION CAPACITY 
  
Ocena ustreznosti proizvodnih zmogljivosti glede na pričakovano 
povpraševanje v naslednjih dvanajstih mesecih je bila v primerjavi z 
zadnjim opazovanim mesecem nižja za 7 odstotnih točk. V primerjavi z 
istim mesecem lani je bila nižja za 7 odstotnih točk in 7 točk pod 
povprečjem lanskega leta.  
Compared to January 2004, the assessment of current production
capacity in comparison with expected demand in the next 12 months was
down by 7 percentage points. Compared to April 2003 it was down by 7
percentage points and 7 percentage points below last year’s average. 
 
 
  
1) Podjetja lahko označijo več dejavnikov, ki omejujejo njihovo proizvodnjo, zato vsota odstotkov ni 100. 
 Enterprises can select several factors limiting their business, so the total is not 100%.
