TECHNICAL NOTES
1. SCOPE OF COVERAGE
The Census of Manufacturing Activities gathers comprehensive data on the entire industrial
sector with establishments engaging in activities of manufacturing and industrial servicing.
These activities are classified in Section C of the Singapore Standard Industrial Classification
(SSIC) 2010 edition.
2. PUBLICATION FORMAT
The results of the census are tabulated by industrial activity and presented at two levels of
aggregation in this report.
The first level relates to data at the overall manufacturing level. Principal statistics by
employment size, output value, net value of fixed assets, legal organisation, capital structure and
country of capital source are published at overall manufacturing level. The second level consists
of tables at major industry group of two-digit SSIC level.
3. SAMPLE SELECTION
The sampling frame is based on live establishments covered in 2011 census. New firms are
mainly obtained from the Commercial Establishment Information System (CEIS) maintained by
the Department of Statistics (DOS); whilst information in the CEIS is extracted from the
Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). Besides the CEIS, new firms are also
sourced from newspapers, business and telephone directories.
Establishments contributing significantly to employment, value-added or output are selected with
certainty. The rest of the establishments are selected based on stratified random sampling.
Appropriate estimation methods were then applied to obtain population estimates.
4. DATA COLLECTION
The census was conducted by mail inquiry and via the Internet, using two types of questionnaires
namely Form ST and SI. Form ST covered the large and medium companies with detailed
information collected, while Form SI covered small local establishments.
Respondents were given one month to complete and submit their returns. Establishments that
failed to respond to the requisition in time were reminded by post and telephone. Returns were
scrutinised by office staff and went through stringent online validation. Queries encountered
were clarified by means of telephone, interviews or correspondence. Tabulation of results was
carried out with the assistance of the Chief Information Officer Office (CIOO).
33
5. RESPONSE
The 2012 census was carried out with a mailing list of 4,182 establishments. For final tabulation
and analysis, data from 3,635 establishments were used. The rest of the establishments were
excluded from the final tabulation due to various reasons, e.g. they were engaged in nonmanufacturing activities, had not commenced operations or had ceased operations.
6.
DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS
The definitions and concepts used in the industrial census are generally in accordance with the
United Nations international recommendations for industrial statistics but with certain
modifications to suit the local context.
Statistical Unit
The statistical unit used in the census is the establishment, being formally defined as a
manufacturing unit engaged in one industrial activity generally in a single location. Where an
enterprise is engaged in one industrial activity but operates manufacturing units in two or more
different locations in Singapore, these separate units are treated as one establishment if most
records are centrally kept. Such an enterprise submits a consolidated return covering all the units.
Period of Reference
The period of reference is the calendar year. However, establishments whose accounting records
are based on a financial year time frame are allowed to report according to the financial year
nearest to the reference calendar year.
Legal Organisation
This refers to the legal status of the enterprise rather than the establishment. In an enterprise with
multiple establishments, the legal status of the establishment follows that of the enterprise. The
legal status of the enterprise can be classified into sole-proprietorship, partnership, public limited
company, private limited company and others.
Capital Structure
This refers to the nationality of the paid-up capital and investment capital as at end of the year.
For limited companies, paid-up capital refers to the amount of share capital paid by the
shareholders. For sole-proprietorship and partnership establishments, it refers to the capital
contributed by proprietors or partners.
34
Employment
This refers to all persons engaged by the establishment as at end of June, including both
employees and self-employed.
Total Output
Total output refers to the total value of goods and services derived from a production process and
ancillary activities such as management or marketing. As such, it includes manufacturing output
and other operating income.
Manufacturing Output
The manufacturing output of industries refers to the total value of all commodities produced
(including by-products) and industrial services rendered during the year. The valuation of
commodities produced is at basic price, excluding excise duties, if any. The value of
manufacturing output is computed from the value of goods sold and changes in stocks during the
year.
Materials
Materials cover raw or basic materials, chemicals and packing materials consumed in the
production process. They refer to the actual consumption during the year. Where information on
materials consumed is not directly available, it is derived from total purchases of materials and
changes in stocks. Valuation is at cost, including delivery charges, commissions and duties.
Remuneration
Remuneration refers to the total cost resulting from the employment of all the workers in the
establishment, except indirect taxes, foreign workers levy and skill development levy.
Remuneration comprises wages and salaries (which include bonuses), contributions to the
Central Provident Fund and pension paid by employers, and the value of other benefits provided
such as food, lodging and medical care.
Operating Costs
Operating costs incurred by the establishment include work-given out, utilities, fuel,
transportation charges, rental paid for premises, machinery and transport equipment, repair and
servicing of building, machinery, and transport equipment, insurance premium on building,
machinery and transport equipment, bank service charge, travelling expenses including own
vehicles, telecommunication fees (eg. postage, printing), share of related company's expenses,
35
preliminary/pre-operating expenses, staff training expenses, recruitment expenses, quality

control expenses, guarantee/warranty cost, sundry operating expenses, factory requisite (eg. tools
& consumables), uniforms, cargo handling, delivery and container service, harbor charges,
wharfage and dockage, festivals and annual functions for staff, laundry services, professional
service charges, advertising, promotional and entertainment expenses, commission and agency
fees, third party logistics, royalties, research and development expenditure, other non-deductible
GST paid and other operating expenditure for non-manufacturing activities.
Other Operating Income

Other operating income includes rental income from building and premises, transport equipment,
and machinery & equipment, income from sales of metal scrap and scrap & waste, commission
on sales of goods, installation of structure, royalties received, business commission, technical
services & news editorial fees, administration & management fees, profit from resale of
materials and other operating income that are connected to the establishments operation.
Value-Added (At Basic Prices)

Value-added is the difference between total output and the total operating cost incurred in the
production of goods and services or ancillary activities, where total operating cost refers to the
sum of total materials and operating cost.
Net Operating Surplus

Net operating surplus is obtained by deducting remuneration, depreciation of fixed assets and
indirect taxes from value-added.
Sales and Direct Exports

Goods manufactured are sold locally or directly exported to other countries. Resale of goods not
manufactured by the establishments is excluded.
Gross and Net Value of Fixed Assets

Gross value of fixed assets is the accumulated cost of acquiring the fixed assets. The net value of
fixed assets refers to the gross value net of accumulated depreciation.
36
Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure covers all expenditure on capital assets, which are classified into two major
categories for publication, namely land/building/structure and transport equipment/machinery/
office equipment.
