Synopsis

Book One of The Technology of Innovative Engineering Series - A Managerial Overview of the TRIZ Methodology. This book provides the reader with basic understanding of a powerful methodology for enhancing engineering creativity called TRIZ. Where conventional trial and error approach fails, TRIZ proves to be the most reliable engineering methodology for product and process development. TRIZ does not help to just a solution-- it aims for the ideal result by eliminating psychological inertia and maximizing utilization of the system's resources. TRIZ was developed by Genrikh Altshuller after an analysis of hundreds of thousands of inventions described in the world's patent libraries. It was discovered that fundamentally all technological systems evolve according to objective and predictable patterns. Altshuller fomalized his findings and encapsulated his analysis in the Laws of Technological System Evolution. These laws help engineers solve complex product and process problems efficiently and economically. Altshuller developed the Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving that helps solve complex problems expeditiously and cost effectively. TRIZ is extremely useful in developing next generation products. Through utilizing the Laws of Evolution, TRIZ creates opportunities for strategic patent fencing and circumventing competitor's patents. TRIZ is credited with helping engineers in many countries to develop breakthrough solutions to difficult probems.
