Normal Production Levels Under FAS 151

FAS 151 says judgment needs to be used to determine inventory costs under absorption costing. Could you please tell me how would you determine "normal production levels"? Thanks.

Normal Production Level

Normal production level is a short term concept. For a period, say a year, it can be determined using the average of the two or three years projected levels of sales.
Actual production level over normal production level is a ratio used to allocate fixed costs into unit costs of production.
