About Indices of Capacity Utilization Rates — Manufacturing (seasonally adjusted)
The Indices of Capacity Utilization Rates, published monthly by METI, measure how intensively manufacturing equipment is being run (2020 = 100). They are production divided by production capacity, so they show how much slack is left in existing plant and how pressing new capital investment is.
