Method: The survey is based on a literature review of academic publications present in indexed DBs. Twenty-nine case studies were collected and analyzed about non-TRIZ tools used in combination with TRIZ tools. For each case, the level of systematic innovation introduced by the use of the different methodologies is qualitatively evaluated using the so-called individual innovation index. This in...

This research creates a design methodology by synthesizing the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and cascade control based on Smith predictor. The particleboard glue supplying and dosing system case study defines the problem and the solution using the methodology proposed in the paper. Status difference existing in the gluing dosing process of particleboard production usually causes gl...

In the manufacturing industry, supply chain management is playing an important role in providing profit to the enterprise. Information that is useful in improving existing products and development of new products can be obtained from databases and ontology. The theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) supports designers of innovative product design by searching a knowledge base. The existing ...

Research on innovative methods for Conceptual Design of Control Strategies (CDCS) is of great theoretical and engineering meaning. In this paper, TRIZ-aided innovation in CDCS was proposed. At first, a systematic approach to build a new theory of inventive problem solving specialized for control strategies (TRIZ-CS) was proposed with its systemic structure was given. Then the Block-Signal analy...

The translation process from TRIZ solutions to domain solutions is an analogy-based process. TRIZ solutions, such as 40 inventive principles and the related cases, are medium-solutions for domain problems. Unexpected discoveries (UXDs) are the key factors to trigger designers to generate new ideas for domain solutions. The Algorithm of UXD resolving based on MeansEnds Analysis(MEA) is studied a...

This paper introduces TRIZ-based problem definition process for developing students’ creative problem solving ability in engineering education. TRIZ is the theory of inventive problem solving and was developed by a Soviet engineer and researcher Genrich Altshuller and its effectiveness was already proved by lots of real problem solving in various areas. Main obstructive elements of creativity a...

Traditional QFD planning method compromises contradictions between engineering characteristics to achieve higher customer satisfaction. However, this compromise trade-off can not eliminate the contradictions existing among the engineering characteristics which limited the overall customer satisfaction. QFD (Quality function deployment) integrated with TRIZ (the Russian acronym of the Theory of ...

Abstract One of the popular creativity methods to solve technical problems is Theory Inventive Problem Solving, (TRIZ), however, requires a considerable investment time. A teaching methodology for simplified version TRIZ (TRIZ10) has been developed reducing learning time and improving creative process in solving problems. This method applied small group engineering design students as proof conc...

TRIZ has gained interest over the past decades, as among others expressed by this conference. It is widely used and acknowledged for dealing with technical issues on component level. However, decisions on system level have a much greater impact than those on component level. Thus it is worthwhile to investigate applying TRIZ early in the design process. The article explores the benefits of and ...

A large part of the strength and power of TRIZ exists because the methodology was constructed on the foundations provided by the analysis of a substantial number of patents. Around 1985, however, this analysis was for the most part halted and the research focus was shifted to other important areas. In using some of the TRIZ tools on today’s problems – in a world, for example, that has become mu...
