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 321/2004 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 časovna 
vrsta 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).

KOMENTAR COMMENT 
Oktobra so direktorji tendence v predelovalnih dejavnostih ocenili enako 
kot pretekli mesec – desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja je bila v 
oktobru enaka kot v septembru. V primerjavi z istim mesecem lani je bila 
ta vrednost za 8 odstotnih točk višja ter za 9 odstotnih točk nad lanskim 
povprečjem. 
In October managers estimated business tendencies in manufacturing the
same as in the previous month. The seasonally adjusted value of the
confidence indicator was the same as in September 2004. Compared to
October 2003 it was up by 8 percentage points and 9 percentage points
above last year’s average. 
Na gibanje kazalca zaupanja v tem mesecu so vplivale manjše zaloge 
končnih izdelkov in manjša proizvodna pričakovanja ter zvišanje ravni 
skupnih naročil, vendar se je njihovo gibanje ravno izničilo, tako da je 
vrednost kazalca zaupanja ostala enaka kot pretekli mesec. 
The evolution of the confidence indicator in this month was influenced by
the fall of stocks of finished products and production expectations as well
as by the rise of overall order books; however, their opposite influence on
the confidence indicator caused no change in its value. 
PROIZVODNJA in PROIZVODNA PRIČAKOVANJA PRODUCTION and PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS 
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnje je bila enaka kot pretekli 
mesec. Glede na isti mesec lani je bila nižja za 8 odstotnih točk, glede na 
lansko povprečje pa višja za 2 odstotni točki.  
The seasonally adjusted value of the production indicator remained the
same as in the previous month. Compared to October 2003 it was down
by 8 percentage points and up by 2 percentage points compared to last
year’s average. 
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnih pričakovanj za naslednje 3 
mesece se je znižala za 3 odstotne točke. V primerjavi z istim mesecem 
lani je bila višja za 8 odstotnih točk in za 11 odstotnih točk višja od 
lanskega povprečja.  
The seasonally adjusted value of production expectations for the next
three months fell by 3 percentage points. Compared to October 2003 it
was up by 8 percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 11
percentage points.  
ZAGOTOVLJENA PROIZVODNJA ASSURED PRODUCTION 
Ob oktoberskem proizvodnem ritmu imajo podjetja zagotovljeno 
proizvodnjo v povprečju za 4,3 meseca. To je za 0,1 meseca več kot lani 
v tem mesecu in enako kot lansko povprečje.  
With the same production rhythm as in October, production in enterprises
is assured on average for the next 4.3 months. This is 0.1 month more
than in October 2003 and the same as last year’s average. 
Največ podjetij (22,3 %) ima proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za 3 
mesece. Sledijo podjetja (18,4 %), ki imajo proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v 
povprečju za več kot 10 mesecev, in podjetja (16,5 %), ki imajo proizvodnjo 
zagotovljeno v povprečju za 2 meseca. Za en mesec ima zagotovljeno 
proizvodnjo v povprečju 12,1 % podjetij, ob oktoberskem proizvodnem ritmu 
pa nima zagotovljene proizvodnje v povprečju 2,1 % podjetij. 
In most enterprises (22.3%) production is assured for three months. They
are followed by enterprises whose production is assured for more than
ten months (18.4%) and those in which production is assured for two
months (16.5%). Should the October production rhythm continue, 12.1%
of enterprises have production assured for one month and 2.1% of
enterprises have no assured production. 
OMEJITVE V PROIZVODNJI LIMITS TO PRODUCTION 
Med omejitvenimi dejavniki v proizvodnji so prevladovali dejavniki iz 
skupine težave s preskrbo. V tem mesecu se je z njimi spopadalo 30 % 
zaposlenih (oziroma 32 % podjetij), kar je za 7 odstotnih točk več kot lani 
v tem mesecu in 9 odstotnih točk nad lanskim povprečjem. 
Among factors limiting production, supply difficulties prevailed. In October
2004, 30% of employees (32% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is
7 percentage points more than in October 2003 and 9 percentage points
above last year’s average. 
Sledili so omejitveni dejavniki iz skupine šibko povpraševanje. V tem 
mesecu se je z njimi srečevalo 28 % zaposlenih (oziroma 31 % podjetij), 
kar za 4 odstotne točke več kot isti mesec lani in 1 odstotno točko pod 
lanskim povprečjem. 
The second most important limits were demand difficulties. In October
2004, 28% of employees (31% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is
4 percentage points more than in October 2003 and 1 percentage point
below last year’s average. 
Z dejavniki iz skupine hude omejitve se je v tem mesecu srečalo 23 % 
zaposlenih (oziroma 20 % podjetij) v predelovalnih dejavnostih. Glede na 
isti mesec lani je bil odstotek nižji za 6 odstotnih točk in za 7 odstotnih 
točk pod lanskim povprečjem. 
The third most important limits were severe obstacles. In October 2004,
23% of employees (20% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is 6
percentage points less than in October 2003 and 7 percentage points
below last year’s average. 
19 % zaposlenih (oziroma 17 % podjetij) v tem mesecu ni imelo omejitev 
v proizvodnji. Glede na isti mesec lani je bil odstotek nižji za 5 odstotnih 
točk in 2 odstotne točke pod lanskim povprečjem. 
In October 2004, 19% of employees (17% of enterprises) faced no limits,
which is 5 percentage points less than in October 2003 and 2 percentage
points below last year’s average. 
Podrobnejši pregled omejitvenih dejavnikov v proizvodnji pokaže, da je/so 
oktobra1) : 
A more detailed overview of limits to production  shows that in October1): 
• 37 % podjetij (ali 31 % zaposlenih) omejevalo nezadostno domače 
povpraševanje; 
• 37% of enterprises (or 31% of employees) were limited by insufficient
domestic demand, 
 
  
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%.

Največja omejitev v proizvodnji ostaja nezadostno domače 
povpraševanje, sledijo nezadostno tuje povpraševanje, konkurenčni uvoz 
in pomanjkanje usposobljenih delavcev. Med omejitvenimi dejavniki v tem
