In this article Gregory Frenklach discusses the System Operator when observing and solving problems. The System Operator forces the problem solver to view the system with respect to the subsystem, system and super-system as well as the past, present and future. Because the System Operator allows the TRIZ practitioner to view the problem from multiple perspectives, it gives them the ability to choose how they would like to solve the problem while utilizing their available resources.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb discusses the advantages of identifying the Ideal Final Result with respect to solving problems. The Ideal Final Result provides the best possible solution for your system without creating any additional constraints or complications. Many times the well defined Idea Final Result leads the problem solver to a solution, but even the less apparent solutions are obtainable with the use of an ARIZ based algorithm.

In this article Ronny Mann and Gregory Frenklach discuss merging TOC TP and TRIZ methodologies in order to solve problems in systems that have both human and technical factors. TOC TP is used to determine and resolve system constraints while TRIZ is utilized to provide solutions to technical problems in a system. Developing a tool that melds these two methodologies together provides solutions to individual weaknesses, and creates useful and reliable solutions pertaining to systems with both human and technical components.

In this article Amir Roggel and Gregory Frenklach explain Problem Situation Mapping (PSM) and give examples of different applications. When solving a problem the most important step is the identification of that problem. PSM allows TRIZ practitioners to be more effective innovators by giving them the ability to Identify and define the correct problem to solve, and to determine the correct contradictions associated with the problem.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb discusses the effects TRIZ methodologies and tools can have on the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) process. QFD practitioners are known to very clearly identify the initial qualities of a system, but sometimes have difficulty utilizing the large amount of data created in order to be innovative. The use of TRIZ allows QFD users to enhance their current abilities and to better satisfy customer’s wants and needs.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb talks about teaching TRIZ concepts to students and solving problems through the use of analogies. An important concept in TRIZ involves identifying a principle through the use of a contradiction matrix or other methods, and utilizing examples of that principle to solve the problem at hand. To better teach this analogy based concept to students, an algorithm is provided that increases comprehension and creates additional insights.

In this article Gregory Frenklach describes and gives examples of a new problem solving method called Multi-level Problem Solving. This method utilizes multi-level analysis which allows the problem to be broken down to its roots, and each aspect of the problem dealt with individually. With this core idea practitioners can utilize Multi-level Problem Solving to gain new perspectives and come to new and useful solutions.

In this article Gregory Frenklach discusses the creation of problem solving methodologies based on TRIZ tools and based in differnet areas of human activities through a process called feature transfer. In fields with attached human attributes such as management, advertising and marketing, problem solving methods must be developed to effectively find solutions. Building these TRIZ-like methodologies for fields involving human activities is difficult, but feature transfer along with multi-level and object chain analysis make this process simpler.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb and Darrell Mann discuss the concept of Mass Customization and whether or not it reproduces the same solutions produced by the Contradiction Matrix, adds anything to TRIZ methods or tools, or has anything to gain from TRIZ. The concept of Mass Customization is concerned with the mass production of customizable goods and services. When comparing B Joseph Pine II’s Mass Customization concept with the methods and tools of TRIZ there were many similarities and even some instances where one out performs the other.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb discusses an application of TRIZ called strategic TRIZ. Strategic TRIZ is a use of TRIZ targeted toward more long term strategic changes in organizations and technologies rather than the usual technical application. With the use of strategic TRIZ through methods such as technology forecasting businesses are able to manage long term strategic initiatives with a better understanding of what’s coming in the future.
