TRIZ
Invented by Genrich Altschuller. Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. Systematic method for problem solving. At its core its find solutions by finding contradictions in current systems. . Adopted by Samsung, GE and Rolls Royce. We are normally limited by our thinking by past experiences.Humans have psychological inertia. This could be overcome by accelerated methods such as TRIZ. TRIZ helps to solve the current problem by employing tools that solve the current problem in an accelerated manner.
Principles
All informations are based on relatively simple principles. 5 levels of solutions:
Obvious improvements :
Minor Improvements:
Major Improvements - Solves Problem within your discipline but outside of current industry
New Concepts: Looking beyond the current industry and discipline, to combine solutions from other areas. For example, solving a mechanical problem by chemistry
Discovery : we have solutions based on scientific breakthroughs,
1 and 2 forms the 75% of all problems that require in-house and industry knowledge. Level 4 and 5 represent 5% of all problems.
2 types of contradiction:
System contradiction
Technical contradiction - Speed of bike,
Study of Contradiction - In case of a problem we try to look for solutions from everyday.
Thinking about the ideal final result, allows you to capture the needs, without becoming caught up, by psychological inertia, that limits our thinking, to current knowledge and experiences.
e.g. we want a coffee cup which robust and strong and don't break. In this case we can have a cup steel cup. Now for example we want to to go forest in mountain and want to drink coffee. The example the cup should exist only when I want to drink . A existing cup made of china will not evolve the problem. solution could be collapsible cup. So here we solve the conflicting requirements
Segmentation - Assemble your object from number of pieces
Principle of dynamism - the collapsible cup is not static. Its collapses.
Trends of man made evolution
Technology doesn't evolve randomly. Technologies have similarities We can use to to forecast education and customer
