The presentation is a TRIZ excerise of generate ideas using the Ideal Final Result premise.

1. TRIZ From December 13th to 20th , 2008

2. New Can Platform (NCP) Functionality WS Definition of the system

3. What do we sell? Instead of instrumentation NCP sells information display for decision making If Procter and Gamble instead of laundry powder P&G sells clean cloths then

4. Ideal Final Result Hermetic: No condensation or dust inside, always have the functionality, no interference. Cosmetic: Customer can decide the styling od the dial and pointer Communication: Not relevant Connection: not relevant Mounting: Not relevant Communication: not relevant Configuration. Can change the order of the module if he wants Diagnostic: can have a fast diagnostic at the workshop of which part is failing (the measurment system of the part) IFR Final customer Hermetic Easy to close at the manufacturing line: no scrap and fast Cosmetics Less part numbers , materials that aren't delicate Communication: Standard Connection not relevant Mounting: Not relevant Comm: 100% compatible One variant of a product Not relevant Hermetic Within requirements (IP69, IP66, etc) Cosmetic: Cosmetics can be different depending the assembly. No scratches during assembly Communication: Standard Connection not needed, no cables Mounting: fast and easy Comm: 100% compatible Configuration: Assemble and later decide the configuration Diagnostic: can have a fast diagnostic at the workshop of which part is failing (the measurment system of the part) What is important to the customer: Have a product that fit their design: Hermetic Cosmetic Communication Protocol Simple product: Easy to connect Easy to assemble (mounting) Communication protocol Self- Configurable Self Diagnostics IFR Manufacturer IFR Customers Plants Attribute

5. Ideal Final Result Can Add modules if he wants to Battery is available for other applications Knows the status of the variables through other devices such as internet, PDA, SMS, etc IFR Final customer Less part numbers, less stock One core product Less components to manage energy Competitive advantage over competitors The module has the functions that each customer requires yet is a platform ? Competitive advantage over competitors Customized customer have the functions that he needs Friendly to the environment: Current consumption Availability of information Information is available at any time IFR Manufacturer IFR Customers Plants Attribute

7. Functions to improve (team consensus) Functions while module is Off Mounting Method Functions while module is On Manufacture Configurable

9. Ideas * Use a turn & lock system using a modification in the housing Use a bottle vacuum lock to fix the module (a) Use an elastomeric cone wrapping the module and press it into the mask Assemble the module in the back and the ring – bezel should be attached to the mask or panel Hook that slides and holds the module (a) Mounting method

10. Ideas * Add an alarm function to the main gauge: For door lock open , Diesel level Door open, Wake-up alarm (trend: Security and paranoia ) Turn the module in an uniform surface (if it is a display) Turn the module in to a mirror Use the pointers as a found sensitive device and Make the pointers move as an equalizer Functions while module is Off

11. ideas Use more senses to advice the user (tact, smell, sound): all display is a button If we connect an other module , master recognize it Master can rearrange slaves in order without take them out (if module has a display) Information can be send to PDA, internet or other sources: ¿How much gas do I have? Functions while module is On

13. ¿Que tenemos malo y que tenemos Bueno? Queremos mas de lo bueno Queremos menos de lo malo Iluminacion Styling Portabilidad (conocimiento) Calidad Materiales no reciclado Reputacion del producto Entrega a tiempo y atencion Hermeticidad Forma de montar y desmontar Tiempo de vida Es actualizadble Protocolo de comunicacion anticuado Complejidad en el diseño Dificil de montar en el camion, Enfocados en un segmento No es configurable por el usuario Falta de innovacion / tec nologia obsoleta No es versatil y flexible (volts, proteccion de batt, etc) La forma de cerrado de bezel Producto Caro Diseño anticuado styling
