Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The survey covered establishments in the manufacturing and business support services sectors. For manufacturing industries, the economic activities were defined according to Divisions under the Malaysia Standard Industrial Classification (MSIC) 2000 (2-digit codes), which is identical to the United Nations Statistical Division's International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev. 3) up to the 4-digit level. In Malaysia PICS 2007, 12 manufacturing industries and 5 business support services sectors were surveyed.

The sampling frame was extracted from the Central Register of Establishments (SIDAP) maintained by the Department of Statistics, Malaysia. The register was updated using information supplied by the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM), Employees Provident Fund (EPF), the 2006 Economic Census data, and several regular surveys or censuses conducted by the Department of Statistics, Malaysia (DOSM).

For the manufacturing sector, only establishments with more than 10 employees were covered. For the business support services sector, two employment thresholds were used. Only establishments with more than 10 employees were covered for Information Technology, Telecommunications, and Advertising & Marketing, while only establishments with more than 20 employees were covered for Accounting & Related Services and Business Logistics.

Single-stage stratified systematic sampling was used in drawing samples. The sampling frame was stratified by sector, region, state, and industry. To select the sample, for each sector, establishments within each industry, region and area combination were arranged according to the value of output. Selection was then carried out independently for each sub-stratum based on a linear systematic method.

Malaysia PICS 2007 covered 6 regions: 4 regions in Peninsular Malaysia and 2 regions in East Malaysia. Within each of the six regions, states and areas to be covered were selected based on the concentration of establishments.

样本调查数据 [ssd]
抽样程序
---------------------------
该调查涵盖了制造业和商务支持服务行业的企业。对于制造业，经济活动根据马来西亚标准产业分类（MSIC）2000年的部门划分（两位数代码）进行定义，该划分与联合国统计局的国际标准产业分类（ISIC Rev. 3）的前四位数级相同。在马来西亚PICS 2007中，调查了12个制造业和5个商务支持服务行业。
抽样框架由马来西亚统计局（DOSM）维护的中央企业登记册（SIDAP）提取。登记册的更新使用了马来西亚公司委员会（CCM）、雇员退休基金（EPF）、2006年经济普查数据和马来西亚统计局（DOSM）进行的几项常规调查或普查的信息。
对于制造业，仅覆盖拥有超过10名员工的机构。对于商务支持服务行业，使用了两个就业门槛。信息技术、电信和广告与市场营销领域仅覆盖拥有超过10名员工的机构，而会计及相关服务和商业物流领域仅覆盖拥有超过20名员工的机构。
在抽取样本时使用了单阶段分层系统抽样。抽样框架按行业、地区、州和产业进行分层。为了选择样本，对于每个行业，每个地区和区域组合内的企业根据产出价值排列。然后根据线性系统方法独立对每个子层进行选择。
马来西亚PICS 2007涵盖了6个地区：马来西亚半岛的4个地区和东马来西亚的2个地区。在每个六个地区内，根据机构的集中程度选择要覆盖的州和地区。
