In the industrial context, an interest exists in the collective resolution of creative problems during the conceptual design phase. In this work we introduce an information-based software framework useful to collaborate for inventive problems solving. This framework proposes the implementation of techniques from the Collective Intelligence (CI) research field in combination with the systematic ...

Patent textual descriptions provide a wealth of information that can be used to understand the underlying design approaches that result in the generation of novel and innovative technology. This article will discuss a new approach for estimating Degree of Ideality and Level of Invention metrics from the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) using patent textual information. Patent text inc...

The process of product innovation consists of three stages, which are fuzzy front end (FFE), new product development (NPD) and commercialization (COM). Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) is a systematic approach to find innovative solutions for technical problems. The patterns and lines of TRIZ are applied to FFE to produce new ideas. The principles, standard solutions and effects of TR...

TRIZ is used to resolve invention problems. ARIZ is the most powerful systematic method which integrates all of TRIZ heuristics. Definition of ideal final result (IFR), identification of contradictions and resource utilization are main lines of ARIZ. But resource searching of ARIZ has fault of blindness. Alexandr sets up mathematical model of transformation of the hereditary information in an i...

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...

A TRIZ design tool is developed to enhance the quality of student design projects and to attract students’ interest in the aerospace engineering program. TRIZ is the acronym for the phrase "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving" in Russian. The TRIZ design tool contains the contradiction matrix and inventive principles with extensive examples of aerospace innovations. The TRIZ inventive principle...

The improvement of service quality so as to enhance customer satisfaction has been widely mentioned over the past few decades. However, a creative and systematic way of achieving higher customer satisfaction in terms of service quality is rarely discussed. Recently, TRIZ, a Russian acronym which means “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving,” has been proven to be a well-structured and innovative ...

BACKGROUND Medical equipment is closely related to personal health and safety, and this can be of concern to the equipment user. Furthermore, there is much competition among medical equipment manufacturers. Innovative design is the key to success for those enterprises. OBJECTIVE The design of medical equipment usually covers vastly different domains of knowledge. The application of modern des...

In the rapidly changing world, an innovation process needs to become an efficient and consistent supplyof innovative ideas – functioning despite growing the complexity of the products companies make andthe shortening time frame between innovation and its deployment. Creativity and engineering solely areno longer able to handle the just-in-time stream of innovations required to keep ...
