TRIZ is the Russian acronym for The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
TRIZ is a comprehensive and sophisticated theoretical system that comprises of all kinds of methods and algorithms used in technical problems or innovative design. The underlying principles are: The problems and solutions come across in industrial and scientific fields repeat themselves; The evolution trends in these fields repeat themselves as well; The highly valuable innovations are independent of the particular industrial knowledge. Therefore, technical system evolution is in conformity to the objective and generic principles. People can apply these principles to predict the trend for the product development and steer the striving direction. Not knowing how to apply these principles results in difficulty of finding solutions. TRIZ positions to be the most efficient tool in offering these principles as well as determining the striving directions for solutions.
Before the collapse of former Soviet Union, TRIZ remained as a mysterious legend, which astonished USA and its allies with its mighty innovative power in military and defense fields. Despite of the extreme efforts in spying TRIZ, KGB kept the western world away from coveting this so called ˇ°method of turning stone into goldˇ±. Only after the fall of former Soviet Union, could TRIZ become available to the public and be quickly adopted by those reputable enterprises and research institutes. At present, TRIZ has been widely used in the world and led to thousands of major innovative breakthroughs and considerable economic returns.
Accelerated product development has increasingly important. You need to develop successful new generations of products while shortening development and reducing project spending. Implementing the TRIZ methodology from the beginning of your project can save you much time and effort in your search for ideal solutions. In problem-solving, TRIZ systematically analyzes the problem as an innovative and applies a series of guidelines to generate solution alternatives.
Contradictions, or conflicts, represent the most difficult type of problem during product development. In many cases a desired improvement cause a deterioration in another area. For example, very often an attempt to increase productivity deterioration in quality. As a result, a trade-off situation is created.
The TRIZ methodology includes algorithms resolving conflicts between product parameters while minimizing product changes and costs, leading to breakthrough solutions. As an example, consider the following case of a difficult problem.
The highly experienced consulting team at IWINT consists of TRIZ experts across the world. Whenever the customers across technological innovation difficulties in product design or manufacture, the team provide assistance or full service to the customers in getting the final solutions.
