Advanced Planning and Scheduling

Advanced Planning and Scheduling built for the level of detail your plant actually runs on. Buildable plans. Orchestrated with execution, so the schedule your floor runs is always the one that’s buildable.

Buildable plans. Schedules that hold when the plant changes.

Every day, someone on your team rebuilds the schedule by hand.

That’s what happens when a planning tool works at a weekly level and stops short of the day-to-day floor workflows. ERP modules, legacy schedulers, and custom spreadsheets might get you close, but they leave the last mile to manual input. So the plan changes daily, the floor runs off a handwritten list, and the one person holding it together is your only backup.

A schedule that isn’t buildable isn’t a plan. It’s a guess, and you pay for it in throughput, inventory, and on-time delivery every day it runs.

01Cloud-native

Runs on any major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premises in air-gapped environments. Auto-scaling on demand.

02No / Low Code

Out-of-the-box functionality. Configure constraints and attributes without development.

03Future -safe

Every quality-gated run feeds a vector store the agent draws on in future sessions.

Purpose-built for discrete manufacturing complexity.

A planning and scheduling platform for complex, multi-plant discrete manufacturers. It models every constraint that decides whether a plan is buildable. Then it solves them together, in one run.

1 / 5
  1. Model capacity, materials, labor, tooling, and business rules together. One model, one run.

  2. Capture every detail that decides whether a plan is buildable, and leave out the ones that don’t.

  3. Handle everything from standard SKUs to fully engineered-to-order, where every single order is unique, with no stable demand forecast required.

  4. Keep as much of the prior plan as possible when conditions change, so a reschedule doesn’t wreak havoc on the floor or on the suppliers downstream of it.

  5. Reduce the manual effort behind interpreting and adjusting a complex schedule, so planners spend more time acting on it.

Eyelit APS keeps your schedule buildable when the plant changes.

One system, from the capacity plan months out to the schedule your floor runs today.

Plan and schedule in one model.

  • Turn forecasts and orders into plans your capacity can actually support.
  • Spot bottlenecks days, weeks, or months ahead with rough-cut and detailed capacity analysis.
  • Schedule every machine, tool, crew, and resource down to the operation, across one plant or many.

Orchestrate around disruption.

  • Replan around a disruption without upending what the floor is already running.
  • Test what-if scenarios against real KPIs without touching the live schedule.
  • Give customers delivery dates that come from the actual plan.

Visibility your planners will actually use.

  • See demand, capacity, and projected inventory in one place.
  • Drill into a late order and find out why.
  • Set your own KPIs and feed them live to Power BI.

Built to deploy, and built to stay current.

  • Configure changes yourself, with no code and no custom development.
  • Run in any major cloud or on-premises, scaling compute only while a plan is running.
  • Connect to SAP, Oracle, Infor, and the rest of your stack.

You’ve heard that this would be fixed before, and it didn’t hold up. This category has a long history of promising more than it delivers, and it can take a year to find out you chose wrong.

Eyelit is a Major Player in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Advanced Planning and Scheduling. The proof that matters most is a plant that looks like yours, and we’ll walk you through one on the call.

Orchestrated with Eyelit MES, the plan you build stays honest no matter what the floor reports back.

Same system. Different jobs.

The only thing that changes is who’s holding the wheel. Same tools, same governance, deployed to match the task at hand.

Caddy mode

Helps you do your job better

“Sits next to the operator. Suggests, drafts, recommends, and executes on request. The user stays in charge at every step.”
  • Drafts dispositions, RCAs, and schedule changes for review
  • Surfaces relevant operational data on demand — no dashboards to build
  • Walks junior engineers through unfamiliar tasks
  • Accelerates routine work for experienced operators
Who’s holding the wheel
OperatorAgent

You act on the agent’s suggestions. It drafts, you decide.

Employee mode

Owns the job outright

“Given a goal, not a script. Plans, executes, and escalates by exception. Reports to a human manager.”
  • Runs 24/7 against assigned KPIs and operational constraints
  • Acts autonomously within human-in-the-loop guardrails
  • Learns from every run via quality-gated transcripts
  • Full audit trail — every action traceable and replayable
