TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) Tools is a 33-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
Modern industries face ongoing challenges in innovation and problem-solving. Unfortunately, traditional methods often fall short in addressing these complex issues effectively, necessitating a shift towards more sophisticated, structured approaches.
At the forefront of this innovation is the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), which was developed by Genrich Altshuller. TRIZ is built on a foundational analysis of global patents to derive a systematic methodology for overcoming technical contradictions and fostering breakthrough innovations.
Positioned as a strategic problem-solving blueprint, TRIZ empowers organizations—especially those in engineering and manufacturing—to provide solutions into complex challenges and to harness innovative solutions that drive substantial competitive advantages. TRIZ bridges the gap between traditional problem-solving techniques and the need for innovative, effective solutions in complex environments.
In this PPT presentation, we will delve into the 6 core tools of TRIZ:
1. Contradiction Matrix – This tool helps solve problems by identifying and resolving conflicts between 2 contradictory elements within a system, using a matrix that matches these contradictions with inventive principles.
2. 40 Inventive Principles – A comprehensive set of strategies that provide potential solutions to overcome technical contradictions identified in the contradiction matrix.
3. Ideal Final Result (IFR) – Encourages solving problems by imagining the best possible outcome that could be achieved without constraints, thus pushing for the most ideal solution.
4. Substance-Field Analysis – Used to analyze and solve problems by modeling them using substances and fields to find an innovative way to alter interactions that produce harmful effects.
5. Trends of Technical Evolution – Identifies patterns in the evolution of technology to predict and guide future innovations, helping inventors and engineers anticipate and create next-generation products.
6. ARIZ (Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving) – A structured, step-by-step methodology that guides the problem solver through a series of stages to evolve from an initial problem statement to inventive solutions.
Each of the core TRIZ tools is discussed in depth. Additional secondary TRIZ tools are also introduced in this PowerPoint.
By the end of this presentation, executives will gain deep insights into TRIZ tools and how it can be strategically applied to enhance problem-solving processes, stimulate innovation, and achieve superior organizational outcomes.
This deck on TRIZ tools also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT slide outlines additional TRIZ tools that enhance the 6 core tools, focusing on their application in solving complex problems. The Inventive Standards consist of 76 standard solutions in 5 classes, helping organizations identify issues and implement proven solutions. For example, a manufacturing company reduced machine downtime by redesigning components into smaller, interchangeable modules using the Segmentation solution. The System of Operators includes various tools related to size, time, and cost, facilitating systematic problem transformation; an electronics company miniaturized smartphone components using the size operator without compromising performance. Lastly, the Effects Database is a resource of physical, chemical, and geometrical effects, aiding innovation; a medical device company used it to find ultraviolet (UV) radiation for low-temperature sterilization, improving safety and efficiency.
The TRIZ methodology, developed by Genrich S. Altshuller, focuses on systematic innovation and problem-solving through technological principles. Key tools include ARIZ, a structured algorithm that transforms problem statements into inventive solutions; Trends of Technical Evolution, which identifies technology progression patterns to inform product development strategies; and Substance-Field Analysis, modeling interactions between substances and fields to promote sustainable development. The Contradiction Matrix helps resolve conflicts between contradictory elements, aligning solutions with inventive principles. The 40 Inventive Principles provide actionable strategies for resolving contradictions, while the Ideal Final Result (IFR) encourages envisioning optimal outcomes. Together, these tools enhance innovation processes and improve organizational problem-solving capabilities.
The "40 Inventive Principles" are a core TRIZ tool for resolving technical contradictions in product and process development. This structured methodology fosters innovation by providing a universal framework for generating tailored solutions to specific challenges. The principles address a wide range of engineering and design issues, stimulating creative thinking by encouraging teams to view problems from new angles. They integrate seamlessly with existing problem-solving methodologies, enhancing their utility. Implementation involves identifying contradictions, matching them to relevant principles, and applying these principles systematically. An example from General Electric demonstrates the effectiveness of the principles; GE utilized "segmentation" to redesign medical imaging equipment, resulting in modular components that improved longevity and service efficiency, leading to cost reduction and increased customer satisfaction.
ARIZ, the Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving, addresses complex organizational challenges that resist conventional solutions. It offers a systematic approach to decompose these issues into manageable parts. Key features include comprehensive problem analysis to uncover underlying contradictions, step-by-step guidance from problem definition to solution implementation, and the integration of TRIZ principles for innovative solutions. The implementation process involves defining the problem and contradictions, following ARIZ steps for analysis and solution proposal, and evaluating solutions for effectiveness. A practical example is Boeing's use of ARIZ in developing the 787 Dreamliner, where it effectively tackled complex engineering challenges, leading to innovative advancements in materials and design.
