TRIZ for Systematic Innovation
TRIZ for Systematic Innovation – Day 1: Introductory Concepts, TRIZ, and Functional Analysis
- Introduction and Course Overview. TRIZ historical context. Genrich Altshuller. Teoriza Rezhinija Izobretatalskih Zadach (TRIZ): The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. System value, the S-Curve and ideality.
- Functional Analysis. Building to full system insight through: functional language, component analysis, and functional modeling.
- Group activity: Build a functional model of a system of your choice
TRIZ for Systematic Innovation – Day 2: System Trimming, Radical Trimming, Resource Analysis and Technical Contradictions
- System Trimming / Radical Trimming. Learn to advance system’s value by removing components while maintaining overall system functionality. Make leaps towards ideal systems by performing radical trimming and then develop designs to realize those systems.
- Group activity: Trim your function model to increase its value and radically trim your system to leap towards a state of ideality.
- Resource Analysis. Discover and utilize hidden solution resources around and within your systems. Find and apply alternative interaction fields, and other unused component and energy resources contained within your system of analysis and hidden within the surrounding operational environment.
- Group activities:
- Save the Titanic passengers.
- Identify alternative interaction fields by which to support the radical trimming exercise.
- Technical Contradictions: Learn to reflect contradictory system requirements in compact and effective statements that focus your attention on the principal aspects of your problems. Understand how to recognize and capture contradictions in your functional models. Utilize the contradiction matrix to identify selected principles applicable to your technical contradictions. Apply the selected principles in solving your contradictory requirements.
- Group activity: Identify and capture technical contradictions found in your class project and/or case study systems. Solve those technical contradictions
TRIZ for Systematic Innovation – Day 3: Physical Contradictions, Introduction to TRIZ and Patent Strategies, Trends of Engineering System Evolution Introduction
- Physical Contradictions. Model contradictory system requirements by way of physical contradiction statements and utilize the separation, satisfaction, and by-pass algorithm to solve your physical contradictions.
- Group activity: Identify and capture physical contradictions found in your class project and/or case study systems. Solve those physical contradictions
- TRIZ and Patent Strategies. Learn the relationship between various TRIZ concepts and certain patent strategies: Trimming, Circumvention Resources Analysis, Doctorine of Equivalency.
- Trends of Engineering System Evolution. An advanced introduction to the fascinating world of the Trends of System Evolution.
- Group activity: Using the introduced trends, generate possible innovations for your project.
- TRIZ for Systematic Innovation – Course Wrap-Up. Course review. Topics for further study. Questions and answers. Plans for future actions. Course critique.
