Abstract
The global competitions are making rapid changes in production. Procedure integration and seamless flow of information and data play a vital role in productivity. The planning order improbability, manufacturing lead time and lack of systematic approach are the main concerns in production industries. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Lean Manufacturing (LM) are the two distinct processes to deal with the above mentioned concerns for competitive manufacturing. ERP focuses on data and schedule accuracy and ensures repeatable and predictable processes. LM concentrates on identifying and eradicating or minimizing all kinds of manufacturing wastes and focuses on reducing process inconsistency. The paper narrates about some holistic approaches that can be practiced with SAP ERP tool in order to achieve the efficient materials planning, master production schedule and capacity planning.
