Health care costs have been the most commonly cited concern from respondents since the survey started in August 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten key\nbusiness activities are surveyed and respondents rate each area on a scale of\n10 (the highest) to one (the lowest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey is the establishment of an industry index number to quantify where the industry is currently performing. An index of 100 means things \u201ccouldn\u2019t be better,\u201d an index of one is \u201cabsolutely the worst\u201d it can be, and an index of 50 means it is neutral; no change up or down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\">This article is provided by Rob Kirkbride of Bellow Press.

The previous all-time high and low were in July 2018 (66.86) and July\n2009 (41.40).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Order backlog index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 67.92<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 57.81<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The index\nof 67.92 improved by seven points and is the highest seen since the survey\nbegan in 2004. It is well above the 56 survey average and is remarkably very\nstrong. The July 2018 order backlog index of 66.57 was the all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MADA sees\nthis as a positive indicator for industry sales for the first quarter of 2019\nand into the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employment index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 55.20<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 52.57<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nemployment index measures the degree of increase or decrease in employment\nlevels. The index 55.20 improved by three points and is well above the 56\nsurvey average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In West\nMichigan and many other industry locations, labor shortages are driving up\nwages but increased hiring remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hours\nworked index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2018 index: 59.58<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 55.96<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The hours\nworked index is closely tied to the employment index. When the hours worked\nindex exceeds the mid 50s (usually due to overtime), the following one to two\nquarters often see increases in the employment index. The hours worked index\nslipped by less than one point from October 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MADA said\nthis is still reflective of the inability to fill both entry level and skilled\npositions which are still are driving up hiring and hours worked. Overtime is\nnow the norm, not the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Capital\nexpenditures index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 61.20<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 55.96<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically,\nthe capital expenditures index has steadily been in the mid to upper 50s. The\nJanuary 2019 accelerated by almost nine points to 61.20 over the October index.\nIt is significantly higher than average. The all-time high was 64.74 in April\n2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tooling\nexpenditures index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 57.50<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 56.56<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ntooling expenditures index tends to remain very steady from quarter to quarter\nand typically tracks along with capital expenditures, but the significant\nincrease during the fourth quarter is a nice surprise, according to MADA. The\nApril 2017 index of 66.65 was the previous all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New\nproduct development index:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2019 index: 64.40<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 63.37<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nJanuary 2019 index improved by four points and is back above the 56 survey\naverage, which is good news. The highest experienced was the April 2015 index\nof 69.70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Raw\nmaterial costs index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 47.40<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 44.86<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many\ncommodity prices in the fourth quarter of 2018 remained steady. Tariffs have\nnot subsided nor increased. Through 2015 and into 2016, the average was 50.95.\nThe current index indicates material costs have steadied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employee\ncosts index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 48.33<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 46.61<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like\nits companion raw materials index, the employee cost index is rarely above 50.\nAlthough higher health care costs are the most frequently identified issue that\ncontributes to higher costs, wage increases this quarter appear to have\nexceeded health care. This is expected to continue as long as there is a\nshortage of qualified labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The\npersonal outlook index<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 66.54<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 58.98<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is\nthe strongest personal outlook index seen since the survey began. It has\nremained over 61 for the past 20 quarters. According to MADA, this is\nremarkable and most certainly gives a boost to the overall index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overall\nindex<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>January 2019 index: 59.31<\/li><li>56 survey average index: 55.05<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The January 2019 survey index of 59.31 is boosted by strong improvements in nine out of 10 individual index values and brings it closer to the highest recorded index of 59.72 in July 2005. The lowest was 41.45 in April 2009 during the bottom of the recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trends\nsurvey was sent to more than 600 individuals involved with the commercial\nfurniture industry\u2019s manufacturing and suppliers from Africa, Asia, Australia,\nEurope, North and South America, and from companies ranging from more than $1\nbillion in sales to less than $500,000 in sales. More than 75 percent of the\nresponses come from C level executives who are the chairman, CEO, COO or\npresident of their organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was\nthe 55th edition of the survey, which repeats in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commercial furniture industry \u201cremains very strong,\u201d according to Michael Dunlap after analyzing the results of the Michael A.
