About this Presentation

This presentation starts with a discussion of the need for speed and focus in innovation. The product innovation dilemma is presented: A Create a successful new product; B Get to the market quickly; D Accept design compromises; C Deliver significant improvements; D Avoid design compromises. The injection is to use TOC with TRIZ to break the market constraint which allows one to get to the market quickly and also not accepting design compromises. TRIZ is a name for the Russian Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. It is a methodology for knowledge-based innovation originally developed by Genrich (Henry) Altshuller in the USSR. He classified inventions to focus on the underlying principles that supported the innovation. Today over 3 million patents have been classified. The general process is to take the specific problem you need solved and move it to the abstract level and compare it to the TRIZ general problems. After finding the general problem then examine the TRIZ general solution. Next while examining the specific problem try to take the general solution and develop a specific solution for your problem. Topics include: technical and physical contradictions, level of invention, TRIZ for Jonah’s basic process, 39 engineering parameters for expressing technical contradictions; 40 inventive principles for conflict resolution; etc. Examples of each step, action, and approach for the TRIZ for Jonahs process are outlined.

Plane
The Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving (TRIZ) and the Theory of Constraints (TOC) can be used together to solve problems and innovate products.
Speed is crucial in business operations and product development.
Conflict clouds can be resolved using the separation principles in TOC.
