What is TRIZ ?



·        TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”.
·        It is a systematic problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition or spontaneous creativity of individuals or groups
·        Developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues from 1946 through to 1985 in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
·        It is based on the study of patterns of problems and solutions
·        TRIZ provides repeatability, predictability, and reliability due to its structure and algorithmic approach
·        It improves individual or team’s ability to solve problems



Advantage of Triz :
·        Help to find multiple quality ideas in a systematic and efficient manner
·        Generate ideas throughout each of stage of the problem solving process
·        Overcome psychological inertia by formulating an exhaustive set of possible solutions
·        Encourage breakthrough thinking, no trade-offs and compromises

What is Trimming?

·       Trimming is a method of eliminating Components from an Engineering System to reduce or eliminate the disadvantages of those trimmed Components ·       Trimming is used to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of the Engineering System Example :

Cause and Effect Chain Analysis :

·    A cause-and-effect analysis generates hypotheses about possible causes(reasons) and effects(results) of problems ·    A Cause & Effect Chain (CEC) analysis diagram is a structured way of expressing hypothesis about the causes of a problem or about why something is not happening as desired ·    It helps to focus attention on the process where a problem is occurring and to allow for constructive use of facts to narrow down on the actual causes ·    It cannot replace empirical testing of these hypotheses, it does not tell which is the root cause, but rather the possibilities Example :

TRIZ process flow :

2 Key Steps : A)      Function Analysis •       Helps to clearly identify the  Engineering System . •       In function analysis we have the Supersystem, System and Subsystem. •       Subsystem – component within Engineering system. •       Supersystem – component outside system boundaries. Not designed as a part of the System. •       System – components interaction between subsystem. B)      Cause and Effect Chain Analysis •       Help to identify the fundamental root cause(s). •       These fundamental root causes are essentially the root causes of Engineering System problem which need to be resolved. Function can be categorized into two types : a)       Useful   i.     ...
