TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced
TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced – Day 1: Innovation Methods Comparison, Process Function Analysis and Trimming for Processes.
- Innovation Methods Comparison. Compares: Brainstorming, Synectics, Morphological Analysis, and TRIZ.
- Process Function Analysis. Process Function Analysis supports the creation and analysis of a function model of a process. The model includes the Function contribution of each operation and corresponding costs, function type and performance.
- Group activities: Practice performing a process analysis on a selected sequence of events of your choice (brushing teeth, changing a tire, work process, etc.).
- Trimming for Processes. An analytical tool for removing (trimming) certain operations from a process and redistributing their useful functions among the remaining operations of the process.
TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced – Day 2: Trimming for Processes (continued). Inverse Function Oriented Searching and Feature Transfer Details.
- Trimming for Processes (continued).
- Group activities: Practice performing a process trimming on your selected process analysis (brushing teeth, changing a tire, work process, etc.).
- Inverse Function-Oriented Searching. Learn how to apply an analytical tool that identifies new potential areas of application for an existing technology.
- Group activities: Practice performing an inverse function-oriented search on a technology of your choice (block chains, self-driving cars, IR goggles, etc.)
- Feature Transfer Details. Learn to apply feature transfer for non-standard applications to include multi-step feature transfer, processes as alternative systems, physical system integration and feature transfer, and for mixtures.
TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced – Day 3: Standard Inventive Solutions & Su-field Analysis.
- Standard Inventive Solutions & Su-field Analysis. Learn to create substance-field (su-field) models of selected component interactions and apply the set of 76 typical solutions, in the form of su-field models, to improve their interaction(s).
- Group activity: Create su-filed model for your class project.
TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced – Day 4: Standard Inventive Solutions & Su-field Analysis (continued).
- Standard Inventive Solutions & Su-field Analysis (continued).
- Group activity: Apply standard inventive solutions to your su-field model(s).
TRIZ Certification Workshop Advanced – Day 5: Introduction to ARIZ, Smart Little People, 9-Windows, Relationships between Ideality, S-curve and TESE and TRIZ Relation to Lean and 6-Sigma.
- Introduction to ARIZ. Learn the initial steps to a problem-solving tool that transforms a complex engineering situation into a well-defined model of the problem and which can then be solved effectively using a wide spectrum of TRIZ tools. ARIZ is the Russian acronym for Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving.
- Group activity: Perform Steps 1-3 of ARIZ to a key problem of your student project.
- Smart Little People. Learn to image small (micro-level) intelligent people at the zone of conflict of your problem and develop solution concepts by having them manipulate physical objects.
- 9-Windows. Learn to apply a problem and solution modeling tool that looks at systems at the sub-system, system and super-system levels and in the past, present, and future. The method helps you to visualize solution directions and find resources available in and around your system to apply towards those solutions.
- Relationships Between Ideality, S-curve and TESE. Understand the relationships between ideality, the S-curve and how the remaining trends drive the progression of increasing value.
- TRIZ Relation to Lean and 6-Sigma. Understand how other problem modeling tools are related to and supported by TRIZ.
- Group activity: Finalize group project reports.
