The performance is creditable considering the economic
recessionary conditions and the downturn in the shipping and
ship building sector. The reductions in the profits and turnover
during the year were owing to several factors, primarily due to
the reduction in turnover from Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC)
and the lack of ship building subsidy.

SWOT analysis is an effective
management technique to evaluate the business
environment of an organization both internal and
external to analyze the present status and future
prospectus of the firm. The strength and weakness of
the organization, which are internal to the firm, are
identified. The opportunities and threat offered by
business environment, which are external to the
organization, are also analyzed. Then suitable
strategy can be formulated by taking both internal and
external factors of the business unit. SWOT analysis
for CSL is a step in arriving at the strategy decision for
the organization.

36. CONCLUSION
Cochin shipyard is presently operating at 100% capacity utilization.
There is no space capacity available. Presently the yard can construct
ships up to 1, 10,000 DWT. Cochin Shipyard has planned for enhancing its
capacity through a larger dock up to 25000-30000 DWT. The yard also got
GOI approval. The shipyard also plans to introduce Dock arms and
Moveable Hydraulically Activated Platform.
Cochin Shipyard is one of the first yards and largest in India to
use the Integrated Hull Outfitting and Painting (IHOP) system in
construction. Under this technology the ship is constructed in modules,
fully outfitted and painted before assembly. This method of construction is
faster and safer compared to the traditional method of construction.
Besides, the yard was also one of the first shipyards to adopt the Tribon
software for ship design and introducing CAD/CAM. Not only that,
presently, the Cochin Shipyard is the only one in India that has the
capability to build large and modern ships. Another credit is that it is one
and only profit making ship industry in India. It is important to acknowledge
and appreciate the historical role played by CSL in the realm of growth of
ship building in our country and has overcome some of its constraints.

37. LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
• Days allotted by the college is too short. We
got only 13 Days .
• June is the month of half yearly financial data
making. So the departments were busy at
that time.
• Undisclosed information are higher than
disclosed.
• Department head visiting is not an easy task
in CSL.
• Some Departments have negative approach
to the researcher.
