Biologically inspired engineering design is an approach to design that espouses the adaptation of functions and mechanisms in biological sciences to solve engineering design problems. We have conducted an in situ study of designers engaged in biologically inspired design. Based on this study we develop here a macrocognitive information-processing model of biologically inspired design. We also c...

The Indonesian roof tile manufacturing industry relies heavily on manual operations, specifically in transportation and inspection processes, which creates multiple issues, such as fatigue, injuries, human error, reduced productivity. Various industries the industrial landscape have begun embracing a problem-solving approach known theory of inventive (TRIZ) to mine solutions for issues. Neverth...

Increasing demand for simplification of frequently used products promotes innovation with simple mechanisms. In this study, an attempt is made by amalgamating FMEA, QFD, TRIZ, LCA, and fuzzy TOPSIS the development sustainable products. The methodology executed to redesign a pressure relief valve (PRV) in economic, sustainable, innovative manner. failure modes PRV are considered FMEA ranked thei...

Modular design, Axiomatic design (AD) and Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) have been increasingly popularized in concept modern mechanical product. Each method has their own advantages drawbacks. The benefit modular is reducing the product period, AD capability analysis, while TRIZ’s expertise innovative idea generation. According to complementarity these three approaches, an systemat...

TRIZ can be considered as specific problem solving approaches. It uses among others concepts like problem and systems. This paper is a trial to describe with general tools of system and problem modelling how model of problem and model of system evolves through ARIZ process or at least through some of it steps. The purpose of this article is to show that problem solving, and particularly, proble...
