OVERVIEW
TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving invented by Genrich Altshuller and developed from 1948 to 1998. TRIZ is a method for generating inventive solutions to conflicting engineering requirements. Although there are many techniques for generating solutions or ideas (free association, brainstorming, drawing analogies from other disciplines, futuring, etc.,), TRIZ is the only method that is based on patterns of innovation identified in over 40,000 patents.
Solutions to technical contradictions can be obtained by first identifying the technical contradiction and then translating it to a combination of the 39 Design Parameters. From the the Improving and Degraded TRIZ Design Features, the best Inventive Principle is selected. Finally, the TRIZ Inventive Principle is applied to the original technical contradiction.
