Abtract:

The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) is a survey of the manufacturing
industries of Canada conducted annually since 1917. It is intended to
cover all manufacturing establishments as well as sales offices associated
with these establishments.

Details collected include principal industrial statistics (such as
shipments, employment, salaries and wages, cost of materials and supplies
used, cost of energy and water utility, inventories, goods purchased for
resale, etc.) and commodity data, including shipments or consumption of
particular products.

Data collected by the Annual Survey of Manufactures are important because
they measure production of the industrial sector in Canada as well as
provide an indication of the well-being of each manufacturing industry,
and its contribution to the Canadian economy. The data are used within
Statistics Canada by the Canadian System of National Accounts, the Monthly
Survey of Manufacturing and Prices programs. These data are also used by
the business community, trade associations, federal and provincial
departments and international organizations and associations to profile
the manufacturing sector, to undertake market studies, to forecast demand
and to develop trade and tariff policies.
