Iddan PFT

Process flow tracking

Track every job through every stage. Find your constraint. Fix it first.

Iddan reads the flowchart you already have, measures every stage however it is triggered, and tells you what to change — in a factory, a workshop, a lab or an approvals desk.

How it works

Flowchart in. Measurements in. Constraint out.

Iddan does not ask you to describe your process from a blank form. It starts from the flowchart you already have, then watches the work move through it.

01
Approve→Cut→Fabricate→Finish
from draw.io6 stages drafted · you confirm

Start from your flowchart

Import the diagram you already have — draw.io or Visio — and Iddan drafts your stages from it. You confirm, rename, re-order. Or set them up by hand; both work.

02
QR scanPhysical buttonSensor or machine signalSoftware stepEntered by hand

Measure every stage, however it’s triggered

A scan at a station, a button on a bench, a signal from a machine, a stage change inside your software — each one is a timestamp. A stage you don’t control is entered honestly, not faked.

Watch the work flow

Every job, every stage, as a timeline: where it worked, where it waited. Standard and customised jobs are measured apart, so a custom build never hides a slow stage.

Finish is your constraint. Jobs wait 2.3 days there — three times any other stage.

Get told what to change

One constraint, in plain English, and a proposed change to your flowchart — written back in the format you gave it to us. You decide; Iddan keeps measuring.

The flow

See where the time goes — and where it stops.

Jobs flow left to right through your stages. The width is how many. A flow that stops is work waiting at that stage, with how long it has waited. Rework leaves the line and comes back. The stage with the longest queue is the constraint — and it is marked.

Move inspection ahead of Finish
Both rework jobs this week were caught after finishing. Inspect before, and Finish only touches work that will pass.

One constraint, not a dashboard

Every Kinara product finds the single thing limiting the business, quantifies it, and says what to do first. Here, that is the stage with the longest queue.

Continuous, not a one-off study

The picture redraws as the work moves. Fix the constraint and the next one shows itself — that is how the flow keeps getting faster.

Filter to what matters

Standard or customised, one factory or all, this week or this quarter. Same picture, narrowed down; tables one tap away.

Why Iddan

The name, and the three times.

Every Kinara product’s mark carries its own story. Iddan’s is told in three bands that each stop at their own time.

01 · An appointed time

Every stage has its own set time

Iddan is Aramaic for an appointed time — a set season. Each band is a stage of the work, running from its start to the moment its time is up.

02 · One after another

Time layered on time

The stages hand over in order, each starting a little after the last. That is why each band’s gap sits a turn further round: appointed time upon appointed time.

03 · The pace-setter

The one that stops last sets the pace

Whichever stage runs longest sets the pace for everything around it. Find it, change it, and the whole flow moves. That is the entire product.

Protect the flow at all cost. Iddan is built to find what’s slowing it.
“He changes the times and the seasons.” — Daniel 2:21. The product’s job is not to measure the clock; it is to find and change the one stage that is setting the pace.

Built for how work actually flows.

A factory floor, a workshop, a lab, an approvals desk — any work that moves through stages. Kinara Analytics is built into every paid Kinara and Qlaim product; in Iddan it is the part that names the constraint.

One constraint, not a dashboard

Not twelve competing metrics. The single stage limiting the flow, how much it costs you, and what to do first.

Standard and custom work, measured apart

A customised job is allowed to take longer. Iddan keeps the two baselines separate, so a slow stage can’t hide behind a complicated order.

Machines and people, judged differently

A laser cutter runs the same every time; a finishing bench doesn’t. Each stage is measured against its own kind of variance, not one blended average.

Stages you re-sequence yourself

Moved a step to the other factory? Change it in Iddan the same afternoon. The flow is yours to edit, and the history stays intact.

Any trigger you already have

QR tags and scan stations, a button on the bench, a machine signal, or a stage change in your other software — a Nahshon pipeline, for one.

A stage you don’t control

Powder-coating at a supplier across the road has no scanner of yours. It is still in the flow, still takes time, and is entered honestly — never faked, never ignored.

For admins

Your flow, measured. Your constraint, named.

Import or build your stages, print the tags, and watch the picture fill in. Then let Iddan tell you what to change.

One scan when it’s done. That’s the whole job.

Your station, on the phone or scanner you already have. Finish the stage, scan the tag, carry on. Nothing to fill in.
