This PPT slide, part of the 33-slide TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) Tools PowerPoint presentation, 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.
