This is as true for a production-orientated classification system as for a market-orientated one.
Thus, the classification system should not include intermediate products -- those produced by the unit but then consumed by it as an input to its final output -- because the value of such products is already counted in the value of the unit's final products.
An ideal classification system would allow for the elimination of products produced and consumed at each level of aggregation; for example, the product output measures for each NAICS national industry and sector would include only the output of products final to the industry and sector.
