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 complement the 6 core tools previously discussed, emphasizing their utility in addressing complex problems. The first tool highlighted is the Inventive Standards, which comprises 76 standard solutions categorized into 5 classes. This framework aids organizations in identifying common issues and applying proven solutions effectively. An example illustrates its application in manufacturing, where a company faced frequent machine breakdowns due to overheating. By employing the Segmentation solution, they redesigned components into smaller, interchangeable modules, significantly reducing downtime through improved maintenance.
Next is the System of Operators, a collection of tools that includes various operators related to size, time, and cost. This tool assists in systematically transforming problems. The slide presents an example from an electronics company that needed to downsize its smartphone model. By utilizing the size operator, they managed to miniaturize internal components without sacrificing performance, resulting in a more appealing design for consumers.
Lastly, the Effects Database is introduced as a repository of physical, chemical, and geometrical effects. This database serves as a resource for discovering innovative solutions. An example from a medical device company illustrates its use; they sought a method to sterilize equipment at lower temperatures. By consulting the Effects Database, they identified ultraviolet (UV) radiation as an effective sterilization method at room temperature, enhancing safety and efficiency. This slide effectively conveys the versatility and practicality of TRIZ tools in various industries, making them valuable assets for organizations tackling complex challenges.
This PPT slide outlines the TRIZ methodology, emphasizing its core tools designed to facilitate systematic innovation and reliable problem-solving. Developed by Genrich S. Altshuller, TRIZ is rooted in technological principles rather than psychological or socio-economic factors. The content is structured to introduce the 6 key tools of TRIZ, each serving a distinct purpose in the innovation process.
The first tool, ARIZ, is a structured algorithm that guides users through a series of stages, transforming an initial problem statement into inventive solutions. This methodical approach is crucial for those seeking clarity in complex problem-solving scenarios. Next, the Trends of Technical Evolution tool helps identify patterns in technology’s progression, enabling inventors and engineers to anticipate future innovations. This foresight can significantly influence product development strategies.
The Substance-Field Analysis tool is highlighted for its ability to model and analyze problems by examining interactions between substances and fields. This analysis can reveal innovative ways to mitigate harmful effects, which is essential for sustainable development. The Contradiction Matrix is another critical tool, aiding in the identification and resolution of conflicts between contradictory elements, thereby aligning solutions with inventive principles.
The slide also mentions the 40 Inventive Principles, a comprehensive set of strategies that provide actionable solutions to the contradictions identified. Lastly, the Ideal Final Result (IFR) encourages a visionary approach to problem-solving, prompting users to imagine the best possible outcomes without constraints. This mindset can drive teams toward more ambitious and effective solutions.
Overall, the slide presents a cohesive framework for leveraging TRIZ tools to enhance innovation processes, making it a valuable resource for organizations aiming to improve their problem-solving capabilities.
This PPT slide presents the "40 Inventive Principles," a core TRIZ tool designed to address technical contradictions in product and process development. It outlines a structured approach to problem-solving that organizations can adopt to foster innovation. The identified problem highlights a common challenge faced by many companies: technical contradictions that hinder effective product and process advancement.
The solution section emphasizes that the 40 Inventive Principles serve as a universal framework to generate innovative solutions tailored to specific contradictions. This structured methodology encourages teams to rethink their design challenges, promoting a fresh perspective on problem-solving.
Three key features are highlighted. First, the principles cover a broad spectrum of engineering and design challenges, making them applicable across various industries. Second, they stimulate creative thinking by urging teams to view problems from new angles. Third, the principles are designed for seamless integration with existing problem-solving methodologies, enhancing their utility.
The implementation section provides a practical guide. It suggests identifying the specific contradiction within a design or process, matching it to relevant principles from the list, and applying these principles to creatively resolve the contradiction. This step-by-step approach ensures that teams can systematically tackle challenges.
An example from General Electric illustrates the effectiveness of these principles. GE applied the principle of "segmentation" to redesign medical imaging equipment, resulting in modular components that improved device longevity and service efficiency. This case demonstrates how the application of the 40 Inventive Principles can lead to tangible benefits, such as cost reduction and increased customer satisfaction.
This PPT slide focuses on the TRIZ tool known as ARIZ, which stands for the Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving. It addresses the challenges organizations face with complex and persistent problems that often resist straightforward solutions. The content is structured into several key sections: Problem, Solution, Features, Implementation, and an Example.
The Problem section highlights that many organizations struggle with intricate issues that are not easily resolved through conventional methods. This sets the stage for the introduction of ARIZ as a viable solution. The Solution part emphasizes that ARIZ provides a systematic, algorithmic approach to decompose these complex problems into smaller, manageable parts, making them easier to tackle.
Under Features, 3 main points are outlined. First, it mentions comprehensive problem analysis to reveal underlying contradictions. Second, it offers step-by-step guidance from defining the problem to implementing solutions. Third, it integrates various TRIZ principles to foster innovative and effective solutions. This structured approach is crucial for organizations aiming to enhance their problem-solving capabilities.
The Implementation section details a three-step process: defining the problem and its contradictions, following the ARIZ steps for analysis and solution proposal, and evaluating the solutions to ensure they address the problem effectively.
Finally, the Example section illustrates the practical application of ARIZ through Boeing's development of the 787 Dreamliner. Boeing faced complex engineering challenges and utilized ARIZ to break down these issues, leading to innovative solutions in materials and design. This real-world application underscores the effectiveness of ARIZ in driving innovation and solving complex challenges in prominent companies.
