A system for controlling the position of a vehicle seat is disclosed. The system includes a component position detection device, a seat and component adjustment controller and at least one controllable actuator in network communication. The measured value of the absence of a seat operator is communicated to the seat and component adjustment controller as is the current value of at least one of the fore-aft position or height position of the seat. The seat and component adjustment controller compares the measured value of the absence of a seat operator to a set value to determine if an operator is present. If an operator is not present based on this comparison, the seat and position controller calculates a movement factor value wherein the movement factor value determines the communication between the seat and component adjustment controller and the at least one controllable actuator. If the movement factor value is different than the desired value, the seat and component adjustment controller signals the at least one controllable actuator to adjust at least one of the fore-aft position or the height position of the seat to the desired value.
