Seiki Advanced Planning and Scheduling
Brighton, United Kingdom
What it is
Seiki Advanced Planning and Scheduling, also called Seiki Scheduler, creates manufacturing production plans using actual capacity to balance delivery dates and workload. It schedules operations against available resources and supports real-time adjustments. An interactive graphical planning board summarizes active order loading and operation details, while built-in sequencing rules provide a baseline schedule planners can refine. Users can model schedule changes and compare saved snapshots before applying a preferred plan; an optional Simulation license enables planning scenarios and snapshot evaluation. Seiki EAI connects the Scheduler with ERP, MRP, PLM, and other databases, with one-way or bidirectional data transfer. SQL views and CSV files are described as import methods. It can also run without an ERP system if works orders and routing templates are entered directly. The product supports finite-capacity scheduling, machine and labor capacity planning, and material constraints. It is licensed per resource, with no stated resource limit, and Seiki says it can handle tens of thousands of operations, though saving changes takes longer as the database grows. Pricing is on request.
For and against
For
- Plans operations against available resources.
- Supports real-time schedule adjustments.
