Someone somewhere has already solved your problem or a very similar problem, and all we need to do is apply the same principle to the current problem and solve it similarly…
TRIZ is Theory of the Resolution of Invention-related Tasks. It is a a problem-solving, analysis and forecasting tool/ framework derived from the study of patterns of invention in the global patent literature that was developed in USSR and “immigrated” to the West after “perestrojka” period in 1990s. It is a well-structured inventive problem-solving approach which replaces the unsystematic trial-and-error method used in the search for solutions. This helps in overcoming psychological inertia and “stuckness” which can impede reaching the best possible design.
As leaders, we are often facilitating discussions as a part of designing new products, architectures, system design or problem solving.
In this lecture you will learn about what TRIZ is and how to apply its fundamental principles in Software Engineering and Architecture world.

Week1_slides_Mathematical Optimization for EngineersMarcoRavelo2
The document discusses several examples of optimization problems:
1) Designing a pipeline to optimize the tradeoff between insulation costs and heating costs.
2) Planning robot motion to minimize transportation time while ensuring accurate positioning and avoiding collisions.
3) Optimizing semi-batch reactor operation by manipulating reactant dosage and temperature to maximize selectivity.
4) Finding the optimal cut of a gemstone to maximize volume while minimizing waste.
TRIZ is a theory of inventive problem solving developed in the 1940s based on an analysis of thousands of patents. It provides systematic tools and principles to help solve problems and drive innovation. Some key TRIZ tools include the 40 Inventive Principles, Contradiction Matrix, and Ideal Final Result which focuses on defining the ideal benefits without constraints. TRIZ can be applied to both technical and non-technical problems and complements Lean Six Sigma by providing systematic methods for innovation.
TRIZ theory of inventive problem solvingReza Hashemi
This document provides an overview of TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. It begins with an introduction to TRIZ, explaining that it was developed in the former Soviet Union to provide a systematic approach to innovation. The document then covers TRIZ concepts like the ideal final result, contradictions, the 39 parameters, separation principles, and the contradiction matrix. It provides examples of how TRIZ has been used to solve problems. Finally, it discusses the future of TRIZ, including training opportunities and a potential TRIZ users group at Glenn Research Center.
TRIZ is a theory developed by Genrich Altshuller to analyze and solve problems systematically. It is based on the observation that the same technical contradictions arise repeatedly across industries. TRIZ uses separation principles to eliminate physical contradictions, including separation in time, space, part/whole, condition, and direction. These principles involve changing an object's properties over time/location/condition to resolve contradictions. Examples of applying separation principles include a household water system, fuel tank, bicycle chain, temperature sensor, and food grater.
GENN001 Fall2013 Session #8 Problem SolvingEsmail Bialy
This document discusses the engineering approach to problem solving. It outlines the typical phases of the engineering design process, including identifying the problem, gathering data, searching for creative solutions, developing preliminary designs, evaluating solutions, preparing reports/plans, and implementing the design. It also discusses techniques like brainstorming, checklists, attribute listing and the use of models. Teamwork, failures, and a case study are also covered.
There are over 100,000 engineering materials to choose from. The typical design engineer should have ready access to information on 30 to 60 materials, depending on the range of applications he or she deals with.
Product quality improved using triz a case study in increasing innovative opt...eSAT Publishing House
1. The authors applied TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) to solve a quality issue of particulate matter remaining in engine block pockets after cleaning.
2. Using TRIZ tools like contradiction matrix and Su-Field analysis, the authors determined that the rust preventive oil used in machining was causing dust to adhere in pockets.
3. The authors proposed using a lighter, less viscous oil at the machining stage to reduce adhesion. This solution eliminated manual cleaning and achieved the quality standard of less than 70mg particulate matter after machine cleaning alone.

The document provides an overview of the mechanical design process from marketing analysis through to reverse engineering. It outlines the key stages as:
1) Marketing analysis and brainstorming to define customer needs and generate design ideas.
2) Preliminary design to define the overall system configuration.
3) Detailed design involving material selection, calculations, prototyping and simulations.
4) Iterative design evaluation, testing and optimization.
5) Considerations for manufacturing, assembly, environment and reverse engineering to recreate existing designs.
This presentation is the first one of a series that I plan to share with beginners of TRIZ. This will cover some of the key aspects of TRIZ and innovation
This document discusses engineering as social experimentation through a lecture on ethics in electrical and computer engineering. It uses examples like the Titanic to show how engineering projects can affect humans. Engineering design is described as an experimental process where products are tested on the public. Engineers are asked to design things without full knowledge of outcomes. The document discusses how engineering projects are similar to and differ from standard experiments in terms of control and informed consent. It emphasizes the responsibility of engineers as experimentalists to protect safety, consider diverse perspectives, and be accountable.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in mechanical engineering design. It discusses the phases of design including identifying needs, defining problems, synthesizing solutions, analysis and optimization, testing, and presentation.

Replace a
mechanical
system
a. Replace a mechanical system by
an optical, acoustical or odor system
b. Use an electrical, magnetic or
electro-magnetic field for interaction
with the object
c. Use a field in conjunction with
ferromagnetic particles.
To increase a bond of metal coating
to a thermoplastic material the
process is carried out inside an
electromagnetic field to apply force
to the metal.
2 Extraction a. Extract (remove or separate) a
“disturbing” part or property, from
an object, or
b. Extract only the necessary part or
property
To scare birds from the airport,
reproduce the sound known to
excite birds, using a tape recorder.

Prior
Action
a. Carry out the required action in
advance, in full or at least in part
b. Arrange objects so they can go
into action without time loss waiting
for action.
Rubber cement in a bottle is
difficult to apply neatly and
uniformly. Instead, it is formed
into a tape so that the proper
amount can be more easily applied.

21. Physical contradiction
• Conflict within a single parameter
Hard and Soft
Heavy and Light
• Use Separation Principles
Time
Airplane wings adjust for take-off vs. flight
Space
Band-aids separate adhesive and gauze
Parts and Whole
Cars have re-enforcement in critical areas
Conditions
Chemicals change under temperature
22. Space Principles and Examples
• Utilization of Space Resources
Occupy vacant space
Use another dimension
Arrange vertically
Nesting (matreshka)
Travel through
Use the reverse side
23. Ideality
• Ideal System has Function Without Cost
Useful Functions
Harmful Functions
• Use Resources and Effects
A complex system might be replaced by a simple one if a physical,
chemical, or geometrical effect is used
Infinite number of “effects” in the world
Effects in Innovation Guide provide useful actions to apply
phenomena to engineering
Resources Are Often Free
Energy, time, space, etc. often go to waste
24. Shining light on problems
What resources
can you use to
know what switch
goes to which
light?
Switches and lights are in separate rooms—switches and lights work normally.
You have one visit to the switch room followed by one visit to the light room.
25. Identifying resources
• General Resources
Substances
Fields
Space

Change
Differential
Inherent
Organizational
Small disturbances
Dangerous elements

28. Wear--Switch off an action
Combining principles
with examples helps
you succeed.
29. Substances and Fields
• Model parts of system
• Use (76) Standard Solutions
Complete an incomplete model (create interaction)
Modify S1 or S2 to Eliminate or Reduce Harmful Impact
Change existing field
Add a secondary field to enhance or counteract
Substance 1 Substance 2
Field
76 solutions fit these
categories of ways
you can change the
system to improve.
Solutions apply many
ideality and contradiction
principles, but framing
them in this model
produces different results.
33. Mental patterns
• What songs share the tune with
“Twinkle, twinkle little star”?
Sometimes TRIZ
provides new
knowledge;
sometimes it helps
us access what we
already know.
35. Psychological Inertia—Scaling
• Smart Little People modeling—characters
able to act on a micro scale
• Amplification
If it takes place: Amplify to take place:
In a point or spot Over a line or surface
In part of the volume Over an entire volume
Once Repeated
From time to time Constantly
1 1111...
36. Psychological Inertia—Inversion
• A “problem” is just an outcome that we don’t like
• If you don’t understand a problem, it might be easier to
solve it by inverting your goal and designing alternative
ways to create the outcome (within existing conditions)
• I want to create

47. Anticipatory Failure Determination
• Formulate the problem
Why did this fail, or how might it fail?
• Formulate inverted problem
• Develop potential failures

invent the failure?
Localize
Amplify
48. Localizing to the Last Event
• Last Event and Failure can be confounded with what is
perceived to be the failure -- study the system carefully.
