The purpose of the research was to gain an understanding of the hypothesis that TRIZ is a more effective innovation tool than traditionally applied innovation methodologies within the automotive industry. The objective was to derive, plan and deliver a TRIZ training programme, and to understand the effect of this intervention on the business through the action research methodology. The nature and process of innovation at the company was expected to be defined and measured in support of this objective. A review of literature failed to reveal an acceptable definition of innovation as a process. This led the author to investigate the nature of innovation by using the IDEF0 modelling tool. This helped to develop deeper understanding of innovation, and a measurement system to evaluate the innovativeness of the patent history of the company. Implementation of TRIZ enabled the researcher to develop best practice in teaching and using TRIZ in an industrial setting. Feedback from 17 workshop participants was that TRIZ tools were on balance easier to learn and understand than the commonly used methodology FMEA, and useful in their daily work. This view is supported through the ability of several workshop participants to solve a seemingly intractable problem that had thwarted several attempts at solution using the companies incumbent tools and approaches to problem solving and creativity. Insights gained into the nature and definition of innovation within this Thesis were surprising, and merit further study. TRIZ, in combination with other creativity enhancing methods is recommended as a powerful tool to increase the innovation power of automotive companies, and potentially more widely. ii Preface Acknowledgements The author would like to express sincere thanks to supervisors Dr Elies Dekoninck, Prof Tony Mileham and Prof Julian Vincent.

  • PROTOTYPE INNOVATION USING TRIZ for 4Th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
    PROTOTYPE INNOVATION USING TRIZ FOR 4th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION INTRODUCTION The 4th industrial revolution (IR4) combines various advanced technologies in the physical, digital and biological world, has dramatically reshaped the way people live, work and relate to one another, which drastically improves the efficiency of business and organizations. Institutions of higher learning around the world are equipping themselves to cope with the trend brought by the IR4 where the speed of technological breakthroughs has no historical precedent when compared with the previous industrial revolutions. However, lecturers and their students are struggling to incorporate these technologies into teaching and prototyping. Innovation is an important skill much needed during the IR4. As the IR4 is evolving at an exponential pace, the competition to achieve breakthrough in technology is becoming more intense. As a result, innovation is no longer a “nice-to-have” skill but a “must-have”. There is a way to learn innovation in a systematic approach. The approach is called TRIZ or Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. TRIZ is a tool which frequently applied in modern inventions to create smarter products and improve product families. TRIZ is recognized as one of the powerful methods for innovation. It is embraced by many corporations namely Siemens, Samsung, Intel, Whirlpool, LG, Christian Dior, Boeing, Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal, KIA, Hyundai, etc. COURSE OBJECTIVES At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the need for TRIZ 2. Understand the ecosystem of the prototype 3. Analyze the functioning of the prototype and its ecosystem 4. Uncover the users experience through 9-windows 5.

  • Case Study Application of Triz Tools – Strengths & Weaknesses
    CASE STUDY APPLICATION OF TRIZ TOOLS – STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES Chia-Li Song, Teong-San Yeoh, Tay-Jin Yeoh, Intel Technology Sdn. Bhd. Penang, Malaysia [email protected] ABSTRACT TRIZ is essentially a toolbox with a multitude of tools to choose from. Although users prefer one tool versus another, it is important to note that each tool does have its strengths/weaknesses. We have conducted a series of Advanced TRIZ (Level 2) training classes to students across different Intel sites in Asia (Malaysia, China, Philippines). As a class exercise, we introduce a problem of two threaded joints which causes liquid leakage when screwed together. The challenge is to provide effective solutions using the various TRIZ tools which they have learnt from Basic (Level 1) TRIZ till Advanced TRIZ. One discovery was solutions generated by students were similar when they applied the same TRIZ tools irregardless of their educational background, culture, or years of working experience. This paper will discuss the details of the problem and solutions generated with different tools, along with pros and cons of the various TRIZ tools. INTRODUCTION TRIZ contains many tools for problem definition e.g. Functional Analysis, Flow Analysis, and Cause & Effect Chain (CEC); and innovative solution generation e.g. 40 Inventive Principles, 76 Standard Inventive Solutions. From Basic TRIZ to Advanced TRIZ (TRIZ Level 1 and 2), approximately 12 tools are studied. In basic class, we have Functional Analysis, CEC, Contradictions, Process Analysis; and in advanced class, we have ARIZ, Substance Field (Su-Field) Modeling Trends of Engineering System Evolution (TESE), 9 Windows. There can be some amount of confusion for people who are new to TRIZ in terms of what is right tool to use when solving a problem.

  • The Study of the Innovative Design Method TRIZ on 3G Products
    The Study of the Innovative Design Method TRIZ on 3G Products Liu Ge Liu Xin School of Economics & Management, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, P.R.China, 100876 (E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]) Abstract A scientific design method is critical to the implementation of innovative product design. This article describes the definition of TRIZ, its basic principles and method, states basic definition, necessity, principles and procedure of 3G product development, performs analysis and study on the application of customer experience method from the TRIZ substance-field analysis theory in the process of 3G products design. It is expected that the TRIZ theory will be a very effective tool in the development of 3G products. Keywords 3G product development, TRIZ theory, substance-field analysis, customer experience 1 Introduction With the evolution of telecommunications technology from 2G to 3G, as for mobile communications carriers, the core competitiveness of an enterprise is innovative design capability of products. A long term study has been made on product innovation design, from the 1930s to 1980s, more than 300 types of innovation methods and more than 10 kinds of creation principles were emerged in the world. Through repeated practice and summarization, there are several common innovation methods as follows: the brain storm method, the SWZH method, the bionic association method, the listing category technique, the combination innovation method, the function design innovation method, the reverse design innovation method and so on. Although these innovative design methods have made a breakthrough in constraints on relevant factors that restrict innovation to a certain degree from their respective angles, they have not formed a set of comparatively complete theory system, which cannot implement the overall process of product innovation systematically.

  • Four Views on Triz
    FOUR VIEWS ON TRIZ Valeri Souchkov Published in The TRIZ Journal, March, 1999 First, this article should not be regarded as scientific. The only idea it discusses is how to view on TRIZ. I found this issue extremely important, because there is a lot of misunderstanding of what TRIZ is, in particular, by those who encounter with TRIZ for the first time. The questions I hear over and over again (even from those who took training in TRIZ) are ‘what is TRIZ? Is it a problem-solving method? Is it a science? Is it a methodology? Is it a toolbox? Is it something to help us with breaking our mental barriers and improve our creativity?’ And so on. So I decided to make a brief overview of what TRIZ really is, to shed some light on these questions. In my professional opinion, modern TRIZ comprises four distinct directions: 1. Theory of technology origins and evolution. 2. Techniques for overcoming mental inertia. 3. Techniques for analyzing, formulating and solving inventive problems. 4. Pointers, which organize mapping between technical functions and specific design solutions, technologies, and knowledge of natural science. In TRIZ, these directions did not evolve independently. However this could not be otherwise, as TRIZ originated from extensive studies of technical and patent information and has been developing since as a methodology for improving engineering creativity, and not as a science. TRIZ was born as a problem-solving tool based on a systemic view of the technological world. The primary idea behind TRIZ approach to solving problems is that information about a specific problem must be first generalized, a solution concept has to be generated, and then the concept should be specialized in terms of a feasible solution.

Multiple papers in the literature stress the need for holistic approaches to stakeholder engagement, as existing approaches only address the concerns of the noisy stakeholders. This research proposes an innovative approach in which Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is used for understanding stakeholder concerns, complemented by the use of Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) for identifying innovative solutions to address conflicting stakeholder goals. The researchers simulated the stakeholder engagement of the Coimbatore metro rail project, in India, through a workshop setting in a classroom to check the feasibility of this approach for stakeholder engagement. The 15 participants of the workshop were divided into four groups representing different stakeholders of the project. Data was collected through participant observations by the authors and oral feedback from the participants. The results show that while SSM helped to capture the concerns and goals of each stakeholder, TRIZ helped to identify and dissolve conflicts among these goals through innovative solutions.

  • Modelling the Conceptual Design Process with Hybridization of TRIZ Methodology and Systematic Design Approach
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 131 ( 2015 ) 1064 – 1072 World Conference: TRIZ FUTURE, TF 2011-2014 Modelling the Conceptual Design Process with Hybridization of TRIZ Methodology and Systematic Design Approach a* a b Khairul Manami Kamarudin , Keith Ridgway , Mohd Roshdi Hassan ࢟Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing, The University of Shef¿eld, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Wallis Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham, England S10 1GZ, UK ࢣDepartment of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang Selangor, Malaysia Abstract The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methodology is known to be very effective in complex problem solving. The method, however, needs enhancements in the safety considerations at the earlier stage of conceptual design. This paper presents a hybridized TRIZ methodology with the work of Pahl and Beitz, Systematic Design Approach (SDA) through an effective modelling. This modelling helps in critical problem solving in conceptual design of aircraft parts. The process is applied to a case study of selected aircraft components with a proposal of a systematic and creative methodology in the conceptual designing process. The implications of this study will help aircraft designers to optimize the aircraft parts design in an effective and creative way. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors.

  • Research on Application System of Integrating QFD and TRIZ
    Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Innovation & Management ·499· Research on Application System of Integrating QFD and TRIZ Deng Chaoqun School of Management, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, P.R.China, 430070 (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract Customers are ultimate judges of products. In order to produce the world-ranking product, customer information must be embodied in the part of production and hierarchy of control. This paper firstly points out the deficiency of QFD and the superiority of TRIZ. And then it constructs the application system of integrating QFD and TRIZ based on the theoretical rationale of the integration. The main function modules of this system are also introduced in this paper. Finally it safely arrives at a conclusion as following: the integration of QFD and TRIZ can clarify the black-box process of converting the customer needs to design requirements. Key words QFD; TRIZ; Integration; Confliction matrix 1 Introduction QFD originated in Japan in 1960s.Two professors Mizuno and Yoji Akao compile and publish a book Quality Function Deployment, which introduces the main content of this method from the perspective of quality management. However, the deficiency of QFD in practical application arouses many scholars to add new analytical methods into QFD. Clausing and Pugh(1991)realized that the principle of innovation should be involved in the process of converting the customer needs to design requirements, and they put forward an Enhanced Quality Function Deployment (EQFD)[1]. Adiano and Roth (1994) supposed that traditional QFD can not resolve the dynamic feedback problems between customer needs and manufacturing process, thus they proposed Dynamic Quality Function Deployment (DQFD)[2].
