Information technology and database system have become a fundamental tool in business in order to quick respond the rapid changes of business environment and also to enhance the firms efficiency. Most of firms have their own database but many of them are still having problem with data management as well as the case study company presented in this paper. Currently, the case study company stores machines capability profile that is used for resource planning in spreadsheet software. They are having a problem of data management e.g. data replication, difficulty of data retrieval, planning errors, data losses, etc. As a result, the current procedure takes averagely 3 days per a request to approve the request of adding or editing machine capability profile. Consequently, it causes delays in machine resource planning and production scheduling. This study therefore presents a web based system to support machine resource planning. It applies C#.Net, .Net framework, and SQL server as the tools to develop the system. All machine capability profiles are stored in the integrity database of the system. The system allows users to add, to edit, to search, to request, and to approve a machine capability profile via the web regarding their authority. The result of implementation is able to reduce the duration of request and approval process down to 1 day per a request.
