Complex and competitive organizations across industries such as engineering, manufacturing, and product development face significant challenges in solving problems effectively and fostering innovation. Traditional problem-solving methods often fall short in addressing the multifaceted nature of these challenges, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for innovation.
Developed by Genrich Altshuller, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a sophisticated tool that helps organizations overcome these challenges through a systematic and structured approach. Rooted in the analysis of global patent literature, TRIZ identifies patterns and principles that can be applied to solve technical contradictions and drive innovative solutions.
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will delve on the core concepts, methodologies, and introduce tools used in TRIZ, exploring its significance and relevance across various industries. We will focus on the 4 core methodologies of TRIZ:
1. Technical Systems – Every system performing a technical function is a technical system, which can include multiple subsystems. These systems evolve, mature, and are eventually replaced by new systems.
2. Law of Ideality – A technical system tends to reduce costs, energy wastes, space, and dimensional requirements while becoming more effective, reliable, and simpler over time.
3. Contradictions – Improvement in one part of a system often leads to conflicts with other parts, such as reliability vs. complexity or productivity vs. precision. TRIZ aims to eliminate these contradictions without compromises by modifying the system or its subsystems.
4. Levels of Innovation – Altshuller categorized inventions into 5 levels based on their inventive value.
Understanding and applying these components allows organizations to systematically address complex problems, resulting in more effective and innovative solutions. This structured methodology ensures problem-solving adheres to a proven framework that enhances creativity and efficiency.
By the end of this PPT presentation, executives will gain valuable insights into how TRIZ can be leveraged to address their organization's unique challenges, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
This primer to the TRIZ methodology also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The TRIZ methodology addresses complex problems in technical systems through 4 core principles. The first principle, Technical Systems, emphasizes that systems consist of multiple dynamic subsystems that evolve over time. The second principle, the Law of Ideality, states that systems progress towards greater effectiveness, reliability, and simplicity while reducing costs and resource consumption. The third principle, Contradictions, identifies conflicts within a system, such as the trade-off between reliability and complexity. TRIZ resolves these contradictions by modifying systems or components. Lastly, the Levels of Innovation categorizes inventions into 5 levels, from routine solutions (Level 1) to groundbreaking discoveries (Level 5), aiding organizations in assessing innovation strategies and identifying improvement areas. These principles provide a structured framework for effective problem-solving and innovation in complex systems.
This PPT slide outlines 2 foundational concepts of the TRIZ methodology for enhancing innovation through structured problem-solving. The first concept involves generalizing problems and solutions across industries, allowing organizations to leverage existing solutions to foster innovation. Problems are categorized as local or global, emphasizing the importance of understanding their scope for effective resolution. The second concept focuses on identifying and resolving contradictions, which are significant barriers to problem-solving. Contradictions are classified into technical and physical types, enabling organizations to pinpoint obstacles and adopt targeted solutions. This structured approach facilitates innovation by recognizing patterns in problem-solving and systematically addressing contradictions.
This PPT slide outlines the TRIZ methodology's "Levels of Innovation," presenting a structured approach to problem-solving through 3 key steps. The first step, "Identify the Innovation Level," assesses the current solution's position within the innovation spectrum, crucial for pinpointing areas for improvement. The second step, "Strategize for Higher Levels," encourages organizations to pursue advanced innovation by adopting new scientific principles and seeking transformative innovations beyond incremental changes. The final step, "Implement and Review," emphasizes executing innovative solutions and evaluating their market impact, creating a vital feedback loop for assessing effectiveness. An example of Apple's iPhone development illustrates various innovation levels, from routine improvements to breakthroughs like the M1 chip, contextualizing how a structured approach can drive significant advancements in technology and processes.
This PPT slide outlines the implementation steps of the TRIZ methodology, focusing on the Law of Ideality to enhance system performance by reducing inefficiencies. The first step, "Analyze the Current System," identifies areas for minimizing costs, waste, and complexity. The second step, "Set Ideality Goals," defines targets for efficiency, reliability, and simplicity, aligning organizational efforts towards measurable objectives. The final step, "Implement Continuous Improvement," emphasizes applying changes and reviewing progress towards established ideals. An example from Toyota demonstrates the practical application of the Law of Ideality, showcasing significant waste reductions and enhanced efficiency through its Production System and the continuous improvement method, Kaizen.
This PPT slide presents the TRIZ methodology, focusing on problem generalization to identify effective solutions. Problems are categorized as local or global: local problems can be solved by modifying existing subsystems, while global problems require developing new systems based on different principles. This distinction necessitates innovative thinking and a paradigm shift. The TRIZ problem-solving process includes defining the problem, formalizing it, identifying contradictions, and exploring past solutions. This structured approach encourages leveraging existing solutions for new challenges. Understanding local versus global problems enables better resource allocation and strategic initiatives, making TRIZ a valuable tool for enhancing operational efficiency and driving innovation.
The TRIZ methodology for technical systems analysis comprises 5 key steps to enhance problem-solving and drive innovation. The first step involves defining the system and its boundaries, ensuring clarity about its components and external environment. Next, identifying the Main Useful Function (MUF) determines the system's primary purpose, aligning further analysis with core objectives. The third step, decomposing the system, breaks it into subsystems to analyze interactions and identify inefficiencies. The fourth step focuses on recognizing harmful effects within the system to address inefficiencies and improve performance. Finally, performing a functional analysis provides insights into the roles and interactions of each component. An example of Ford Motor Company illustrates TRIZ's practical application, optimizing assembly lines for increased productivity and cost reductions.
