Introduction
 This
workshop introduces TRIZ as a basic framework for solving
engineering design problems. TRIZ is a Russian acronym
-- “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”.
TRIZ was developed by Dr Genrich Altshuller and his
colleagues in the former USSR by studying over more
than 2 millions patents world wide from the 1950s to
1990s. TRIZ has been widely used by multi-national corporations
in the United States, Europe and some Asian countries
including Japan and Korea. Samsung (Korea) is one of
the successful Asian corporations that successfully
saved US$91 billion within two years through the application
of TRIZ in their research and development.
Objectives
 This
workshop is to introduce the basic TRIZ design methodology
to the participants.
This workshop will also introduce some
examples of natural fields and natural innovations to
create an awareness of using clues from nature for inventions.
TRIZ Methodology
TRIZ identified and codified sets of
universal principles of invention that make the process
of invention more predictable. This formed a design
guideline that could be applied systematically. The
guideline identifies the Laws of Evolution, 39 most
common Engineering Parameters, 40 inventive principles,
Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving, Substance-Field
Analysis, 76 standard solutions and a Contradiction
Table. The methodology thus aims to achieve “Ideal
Final Solution” by eliminating all the “Contradictions”
without design trade-offs.
