This PPT slide, part of the 32-slide TRIZ Methodology Primer PowerPoint presentation, outlines the foundational concepts of the TRIZ methodology, which is designed to tackle complex problems in technical systems. It highlights 4 core principles that serve as the basis for this approach.
First, the notion of Technical Systems emphasizes that every system performing a technical function is composed of multiple subsystems. These systems are dynamic, evolving over time and eventually being replaced by newer iterations. This perspective is crucial for understanding how to innovate and improve existing systems.
The second principle, the Law of Ideality, posits that technical systems naturally progress towards greater effectiveness, reliability, and simplicity while simultaneously reducing costs and resource consumption. This concept encourages organizations to strive for optimal solutions that enhance system performance without unnecessary complexity.
Contradictions, the third principle, refers to the conflicts that arise within a system. For instance, enhancing reliability might complicate a system, or increasing productivity could lead to inefficiencies. TRIZ aims to resolve these contradictions by modifying the system or its components, thus facilitating smoother operations.
Lastly, the Levels of Innovation categorizes inventions into 5 levels based on their inventive value. Level 1 represents routine solutions using established methods, while Level 5 denotes innovations derived from unexplored scientific discoveries. This classification helps organizations assess their innovation strategies and identify areas for improvement.
Overall, these concepts form a structured framework that guides organizations in systematically addressing and resolving technical challenges. Understanding and applying these principles can lead to more effective problem-solving and innovation within complex systems.
