Consultancy to the University of New Orleans: Rendered consultancy to the University of New Orleans on State-Of-the-Art of Material Management in the Ship Building Industry, and submitted the report. This report addresses several aspects of material management that need to be considered for efficient material handling and inventory management process. The various aspects of material management, including Material Handling, Inventory Management, Planning and Scheduling, Procurement and Receiving, Monitoring and Tracking, Controlling and Statusing, are highlighted. Recent trends of material management are also summarized in the report. An effort has been made in this perspective to visualize the state-of-the-art in material management with special emphasis on the shipbuilding industry. Several new techniques and trends have been reported for a more efficient and cost-effective material management. These new techniques have great potential for implementation in the shipbuilding industries and need to be explored in relation to greater competition in the global market.
