A New Paradigm for Creative Problem Solving: Six-Box Scheme in USIT

Author: Toru Nakagawa
Abstract:
The 'Four-Box Scheme' of problem solving has long been regarded as a standard in TRIZ and science and technologies in general. Now that a huge number of models and knowledge bases have been accumulated, the Scheme has been found lacking in the meaningful general description of the contents of the four boxes. The present author has proposed the 'Six-Box Scheme of Creative Problem Solving' on the basis of detailed description of the overall structure of the USIT methodology. The procedure for performing the Scheme is already well established in the form of USIT. Implications of the 'Six-Box Scheme' with USIT are discussed in comparison with the 'Four-Box Scheme' with traditional TRIZ.
