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 ...

The paper examines Axiomatic Design in the light of its possible links to an evolved version of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, TRIZ. The paper highlights incompatibilities between the the Independence Axiom and the Ideality concept contained within TRIZ, but also several areas of mutually beneficial integration between the two methods – at philosophical, methodological and working too...

Today, evolution of science and technology has reached tremendous rate. Major breakthroughs in sciences, technology, medicine, and engineering make our everyday life more and more comfortable. Today it is nearly impossible to find an engineer who does not use complex mathematical tools for formal modeling of design products, CAD systems for drawings, electronic handbooks and libraries, and the ...

The purpose of this paper is to apply TRIZ for solving the GSC problems in Sobhanoncology pharmaceutical firm. A review of the past papers of TRIZ based methods to GSC problem resolution is presented. The TRIZ contradiction matrix tool which was applied to the specific problem brings many benefits e.g.: being rapid acceleration in solving the problem. Moreover provides repeatability, reliabilit...

ambiguous and subjective (Ang et al., 2010). Over the years, the classical TRIZ has been studied and extended to embrace broader features and inventive principles. This study led to the development of a new TRIZ matrix, which contained up to 48 features, with 77 inventive principles (Mann et al., 2003). Several years later, the study of TRIZ had brought to another matrix, which comprised 50 fea...
