Shipbuilding is an activity aimed at assembling many thousands of elements in one very complicated object. The many different components and materials are kept in shipyard depots. Supply, storage and delivery of materials from those depots at the workshop level are the material procurement activity area. The related material costs influence strongly the general cost of ship production. This paper presents the industry's material procurement control model. The material flow in the production depends on the transfer of information. The efforts have been made to diminish the reserves in depots. That means ordering of the material in the 'Just-In-Time' mode of operation. It is the organisation system which exactly controls the deliveries of necessary materials and parts according to an immediate order from a factory to the workshop area in the shipyard. The discussed material procurement control system relates to: 1. Diminution of depots reserves in shipyard, 2. Diminution of depots area, 3. Reduction of ship production cost.
