TRIZ Master-TRIZ-Based Problem Solving

Example

Identifying and solving conflicts between the desired outcome and the available resources. For example, a business aims to improve customer satisfaction while reducing operational costs. TRIZ Master would analyze the problem to identify non-obvious solutions that achieve both goals simultaneously.

Scenario

A company wants to expand its market reach without significantly increasing its marketing budget. TRIZ Master could suggest leveraging existing customers as brand ambassadors, effectively increasing reach without a proportional increase in costs.

Example

Addressing issues where improving one aspect of a system causes another aspect to degrade. For instance, increasing the strength of a material might reduce its flexibility. TRIZ Master can offer inventive principles, such as 'Segmentation' or 'Prior Action', to solve such contradictions without compromise.

Scenario

In automotive design, improving vehicle safety features often results in added weight, which can reduce fuel efficiency. TRIZ Master might propose integrating advanced lightweight materials that enhance safety without affecting the vehicle's efficiency.

Example

Solving contradictions where the same condition must have opposite characteristics. For example, a smartphone screen needs to be large for better visibility but small for portability. TRIZ Master applies principles like 'Separation in Space' to design foldable or rollable screens that are both large when in use and compact for carrying.

Scenario

Developing packaging that is both secure and easy to open. TRIZ Master could recommend designs that employ 'Separation in Condition', using materials that are strong under certain conditions (during shipping) and easy to open by the consumer (through simple mechanisms or changes in conditions).
