Modular design, Axiomatic design (AD) and Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) have been increasingly popularized in concept modern mechanical product. Each method has their own advantages drawbacks. The benefit modular is reducing the product period, AD capability analysis, while TRIZ’s expertise innovative idea generation. According to complementarity these three approaches, an systemat...

TRIZ can be considered as specific problem solving approaches. It uses among others concepts like problem and systems. This paper is a trial to describe with general tools of system and problem modelling how model of problem and model of system evolves through ARIZ process or at least through some of it steps. The purpose of this article is to show that problem solving, and particularly, proble...

a supply chain is composed of a complex sequence of processing stages, ranging from raw materials supplies, parts manufacturing, components and end-products assembling, to the delivery of end products. in the context of supply chain management, supplier selection decision is considered one of the key issues faced by operations and purchasing managers to remain competitive. therefore, requiremen...

The ultimate goal of Patternless Casting Manufacturing (referred to as PCM) is how to obtain the casts by casting the sand mold directly. In the previous PCM, the resin content of sand mold is much higher than that required by traditional resin sand, so the casts obtained are difficult to be sound and qualified products, which limits the application of this technique greatly. In this paper, the...

The paper focuses on the identification and resolution of conflicts and contradictions in complex systems. By constructing simple, computerbased bottom-up models of an exemplar complex system, we show the potential for the emergence of multi-phase macro-level outcomes. We then show how these discontinuous phase-shifts may be modelled as contradictions, and from there, how TRIZ tools can be used...

This study aims to investigate problems concerning water-drinking habits among children, ongoing efforts resolve these problems, limitations in and recommended ideas overcome limitations. The TRIZ approach was used primarily identify the root causes of main problem establish technical contradictions order steer researchers specific solution models. models generated from 40 inventive principles ...

A structured workflow for an integrated product/process optimization is presented. This workflow is intended mainly for cost-reducing objectives and is based on an integrated usage of different methodologies along with TRIZ. Introduction It’s well known that TRIZ is a powerful way to address and to solve difficult technical problem, but, due to several causes we won’t address in this article, i...

This paper describes design principles that were extracted from the profiles of products redesigned to be more environmentally benign. These extracted principles will be used to support the work of creating a Design for Environment (DfE) methodology called ENVRIZ that provides product designers with a procedure for creating more environmentally benign products and overcoming environmental contr...
