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 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 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.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb talks about the application and effectiveness of TRIZ in both technical and non-technical areas. Originally TRIZ was developed using technical patens, therefore its application has been mainly concentrated on technical areas. Even though TRIZ has not been proven and research is still being developed with respect to non-technical areas, practitioners have noted its effectiveness and continue to apply TRIZ to non-technical problems.

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb features a case study using the Titanic to effectively explain TRIZ techniques to an array of class sizes. Instructors are always looking for great ideas and simulations to more effectively get material across to their students. Using the sinking of the Titanic as an exercise creates a well known launching point with minimal preparation, but still provides a platform to quickly and effectively present and practice basic TRIZ tools and techniques

In this article Dr. Ellen Domb discusses the pharmaceutical process of technology transfer and the effects basic TRIZ can have on this process. In the pharmaceutical industry major efforts are spent reducing time spent taking a product from the drug discovery stage to the full scale commercialization stage. With the use of basic TRIZ principles improvements can be made in all development stages allowing each stage to be more efficient and the entire process to be accelerated.
