Industrial engineering are innovators. They take up projects for redesign of products and processes to improve their productivity and reduce the cost. They get ideas and create redesigned products and process components and systems.
TRIZ is a method for inventive problem solving. This method is now extended to business and management problems also. Hands-On Systematic Innovation for Business and Management, authored by Darrell Mann in 2004 is an important book on the topic. The procedure explained can have application in Industrial Engineering.
The system of systematic innovation can be thought of having three basic levels. Philosophy - Method - Tools (For industrial engineering I gave this classification already).
The philosophy include the following ideas.
* there are only a small number of fundamentally different types of problems (But we encounter complex problems because they are a complex combinations of number of simple problems)
• someone, somewhere, has already solved simple problems like the one we wish to solve
• that there are only a small number of possible strategies for generating inventive solutions
• that system evolution trends are highly predictable
• that the strongest solutions transform the unwanted or harmful elements of a system into useful resources.
• that the strongest solutions also actively seek out and destroy the conflicts and tradeoffs most design practices assume to be fundamental.
There are seven other philosophical pillars upon which the systematic innovation framework rests.
IDEALITY
RECURSION
RESOURCES
EMERGENCE
FUNCTIONALITY
CONTRADICTION
SPACE/TIME/INTERFACE
FUNCTIONALITY
Ideality
The new solution has to give customers a more ideal solution than what had previously been available. ‘Ideal’ in this sense is defined as the (perceived) benefits that the customer receives divided by the costs and harms that are also present. Then only customer accepts this new solution.
TRIZ main philosophies: 7 pillars of TRIZ
The traditional TRIZ concept contains 4 philosophies (Mann, 2000). They are Ideality, Resources, Functionality, and Contradiction. Mann (2007) identified Space/Time/Interface as the fifth pillar of TRIZ. System Transfer and System Transition were respectively proposed as the sixth and seventh pillars of TRIZ by Sheu in class teaching in 2016
