This document discusses using TRIZ tools to address Malaysia's increasing crime rate. It uses the Ideal Outcome method to define an ideal scenario of a crime-free country with mutual respect between citizens. It also uses the 9-Boxes thinking in time and scale method to analyze solutions at the super-system, system, and sub-system levels. At each level, solutions focus on policies, community watch teams, and parenting respectively to cultivate a sustainable environment that delivers the ideal outcome of reduced crime.

2. PART 1
 Problem Statement:
◦ Increase of crime rate in Malaysia.
 Proposed TRIZ Tools:
◦ Ideal Outcome and
◦ Thinking in Time and Scale (9 – Boxes)

3. PART 1
 A) Ideal Outcome Method
◦ What is the problem?
 The problem is the alarming increase in crime rate in Malaysia which
has shaken the security of citizens.
◦ Why is this a problem?
 This is a problem because citizens to do feel safe on the streets and
homes. This might results in migrations and also lowers the number of
tourist entering Malaysia. Both will eventually affect the economy and
stability of the country.
 Besides this, a lot of expenditure is spent on investigation to capture
culprits and at the same time money is spend to compensate victims.
 If the problem is solved, it will have a direct positive effect on the
nation’s economy growth and on the quality of life.
◦ What is our ideal outcome?
 Ideality = Benefits /(Cost + Harm). In ideality, we want to increase the
benefits with zero costs or harms
 Crime rate free country (Zero crime rate)
 Every citizens believes, embraces and practices the culture of safety
and mutual respect

4. PART 1
◦ What functions would deliver those
benefits?
 A sustainable environment, society and
economy could deliver the ideal outcome
 Sustainable in terms of reduction in cost and harms
 Resource Consumption: minimize the consumption of
matter and energy
 Ecosystem Impacts: minimize negative
environmental impacts
 Human Satisfaction: satisfy human needs and
aspirations

5. PART 1
◦ What available solutions/ resources could provide the functions
and solve the problems
 Environmental
 Natural resources usage
 Environmental management and Pollution Prevention
 Social
 Standard of living for all (citizens and non-citizens)
 Education for ALL
 Community social awareness (race and religions mutual respect)
 Equal Opportunity (MERIT and TRANSPARENCY)
 Economic
 Profit driven economy
 Lean process
 Cost savings
 Research and Development for Economy Growth
 Social – Environmental
 Environmental Justice
 Natural resources stewardship (locally)
 Environmental – Economic
 Energy efficient (Life cycle cost and assessment tools to be used along with energy
audits)
 Subsidies and incentives for usage of natural and renewable sources
 Economic – Social
 Business ethics
 Fair trade and opportunity
 Workers Rights
 Corrupt free society

6. Part 1 (B) Thinking in Time and Scale Method

7. PART 1
 Conclusion:
From both the Ideal Outcome and 9 Boxes methods, it clearly shows that
the solutions for this problem actually comes from all class of systems,
namely the Super-system, the system itself and the sub-system
 Super-system (Country)
◦ SOLUTION:
 Implementation of correct and positive policies promoting the well being
of the Economy, Environment and Society.
 Implementing proper and ethical enforcement officers
 System (Community)
◦ SOLUTION:
 To form “watch-team” to work in teams and identifying negative places
and people and to have this/them reported to authorities for further
legal actions
 Sub-system (Individual/Family)
◦ SOLUTION:
 Parents should spent more time with their children instilling good
etiquettes, respect and manners
 Parents themselves should be role models by behaving correctly and
respectfully with their neighbors.
