Modern industries operate under very selective conditions, as all the competitors develop efficient and effective products. For this reason, innovation is one of the main ways to lead the market. There are some methods and tools to analytically help designers towards the generation of new ideas. TRIZ is one of these methods. But all of this is not enough to generate a success product, because a...

Since the lack of creative potential in graduating engineers has been and continues to be a concern for industry leaders, most educators have added a common ideation approachÐbrainstormingÐto engineering design curricula. However, because brainstorming requires the designer to look inward for inspiration, it can be a daunting task, which is not always fruitful. Some systematic creativity method...

Eco-innovation always needs inspiration. This paper presents eco-innovative examples for 40 TRIZ inventive principles. These examples cover a wide range of products and processes. They are novelty, creative and eco-friendly.

Solutions to problems move only very slowly between different disciplines. Transfer can be greatly speeded up with suitable abstraction and classification of problems. Russian researchers working on the TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch) method for inventive problem solving have identified systematic means of transferring knowledge between different scientific and engineering dis...

This paper outlines a new model for understanding biological invention, based upon an extensive study of human inventiveness originating in Russia shortly after the Second World War. This science, known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving and referred to by the Russian acronym TRIZ, relies upon the study of human patents to reveal general principles of invention. TRIZ recognizes two dist...

The results of applying TRIZ to several information technology (IT) problems are summarized and reported. Two case studies demonstrate examples of applying the 9 Laws to predict the next state of technology in IT Services and Business Intelligence. Four case studies demonstrate examples of problem formulation and conflict resolution through the application of the 40 Principles to IT problems, i...

The examples in literature of applying TRIZ to software are that of applying the Inventive Principles (see [6] chapter 8 and 10). They are used to solve an algorithmic problem by defining the ideal situation, analyzing the contradictions and using the principles to develop a better algorithm. (An intelligent algorithm is something like the equivalent of a smart construction in Mechanical Engine...

s This research sets up a conceptual design of a future mobile or portable healthcare device using the quality function development (QFD) with the analytic network process (ANP) and the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). We propose a three-stage QFD in order to consider customers’ requirements, extend the whole design process, and calculate the priorities of the left-hand-side element...
