Physical Contradictions: Solving Or Managing?

Darrell Mann

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Albert Einstein

For me, the physical contradiction part of TRIZ/SI still remains the weakest part of the toolkit. Something has been niggling … Read More

Dear TRIZ experts,I am a PhD student at a UK university whose research is focusing onexploring the use of the theory of inventive problem solving in design.As far as we know, TRIZ has bRead More

Can TRIZ Be Applicable in Solving Any Problems?

Hello everyone!I have been reading your posts for sometime now, however, I have never posted any question, nor answer any of them by myself. Having some knowledge in TRIZ methodology, I would like toRead More

Exploring the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving

“Ellen Domb” Quoting your post, I'm going to take a risk of getting thrown out of the forum, but you have been kind enough to share your research, and I want to prevent you from acting on bad infRead More

Pointers to Effects for Non-technical Problem Solving

Efficiency and effectiveness of TRIZ for solving non-technical problems appears to be much lower than what is used for technical problem solving. The absence of pointers to effects for non-technical problem solving should be one of the main causes.Read More

Usit in Japan: a Paradigm for Creative Problem Solving

USIT, introduced to Japan in 1999, has been accepted as an easy, unified process for problem solving in industries and as the next generation of TRIZ. The solution generation methods of TRIZ have been reorganized into a system of USIT operators.Read More

Remote Team Problem Solving with TRIZ

Many companies are not able to perform product development on their own. Companies may cooperate with other companies or subsidiaries in project-based joint ventures – often the teams are geographically separated.Read More

TRIZ: Solving Problems in Outer and Inner Space

The value of TRIZ is demonstrated in small projects as often as it is demonstrated in large projects. One project can have numerous problems with one inventive solution that can lead to more opportunities for ideality.Read More

Non-linear Problem Solving

Michael S. Slocum

We are accustomed to solving problems using a linear two-step process. This process is as simple as problem Â» solution. Our psychological bias is the foundation for our ability to solve problems using this simple process. We have an … Read More

A New Problem-solving Algorithm

Historically, each TRIZ tool was developed (and could be used) independently for problem solving. That is why each tool had its own mini-algorithm. This work is a revision of the main TRIZ tools so that they work together as parts of the same system.Read More

Comparing Problem Solving in Nature and TRIZ

Design in nature (bionical solutions) can help with TRIZ tools and improve the ability of TRIZ to solve problems. The objectives of biology and engineering are similar: functionality, optimization and cost effectivenessRead More

A New Paradigm for Creative Problem Solving: Six-box Scheme in Usit

The ‘Four-Box Scheme’ of problem solving has long been regarded as a standard in TRIZ. A new ‘Six-Box Scheme’ is proposed and compared to the old.Read More

Multi-level Problem Solving

Multi-level Problem Solving (MPS) is different from TRIZ despite the heavy TRIZ influence. The MPS is a skeleton of short algorithms, forming the basis for future discussion and development.Read More
