    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and business automation technologies have

    advanced over the years to address efficiency, profitability and productivity in production

    companies. One of the modules in EPR is the production and supply chain management that

    enables the business to manage its supply chain efficiently. Supply chain management alongside

    ERP looks at the entire supply system from raw materials to complete products on the market

    (Ray, 2011).

    A good production plan describes the number of snack bars and the period the bar will be

    produced. Besides, the quantity of raw materials required in the entire production process is

    described in the production level. ERP uses three approaches to explain production. Make-to-

    stock: products are prepared for record in expectancy of sales orders. Make-to-order: products

    are crafted specifically for individual customers. Assemble-to-order: combines both Make-to-

    stock and Make-to-order.

    The production planning develops a plan followed when producing certain products with

    time increments and raw material requirements to meet the supply chain. It is made of several

    processes; sales forecasting, creating inventory, planning for sales and operations, managing

    demands, purchase of raw materials and the actual production (Kurbel, 2013).

    Sales and operations process is when the company's products are determined, and thus an

    inventory with a specified capacity should be created. The demand management process is where

    the production plan is broken down into smaller time specifications in the production process.

    The production schedule is required staff is outlined in the detailed scheduling process (Kurbel,

    2013). The plan feasibility is evaluated using rough-cut capacity planning to achieve the market

    level.

    ERP ensures that Production planning data is shared to suppliers to show the company's

    competency and warmth in the industry. This data can be transmitted through documentation and

    separate emails through computerized processes in the ERP software (Ray, 2011).
