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...

The core of the TRIZ theories is the contradiction detection and solution. TRIZ provided various methods for the contradiction solution, but all that is not systematized. Combined with the technique system conception, this paper summarizes an integration solution method for contradiction solution based on the TRIZ contradiction theory. According to the method, a flowchart of integration solutio...

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 ...

An overview of the development of the TRIZ problem solving approach is provided in the first part of this paper. Having emerged in Russia in 1946, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving Technique (TRIZ) has been commonly used in the USA and Europe in the last few decades. TRIZ, as a method, has been used successfully to solve problems such as many of those typically arising during the process ...

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...

TRIZ (The Russian acronym for the theory of inventive problem solving) is a unique knowledge-based technology for generating new concepts. TRIZ was originally created based on innovation patterns and principles identified according to the analysis of the evolution of successful products. It provides ways to overcome psychological barriers in product inventions and suggests a generic process for...

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) has been widely recognized as a powerful systematic innovation technique that can be applied to a wide arrange of disciplines. This paper focuses on engineering design and illustrates how modeling methods already familiar to engineering designers can be adapted for use in TRIZ. Specifically, the 'black-box' modeling technique, common in problem for...

Problem statement: In recent years, much attention has been focused on the eco-efficiency of product development. The majority of environmental decisions are only made in the later stages of product development where not much modification can be done. To produce eco-efficient products, environmental decisions ought to be considered in the early stages of product development. With the demand of ...
