Overall Dataflow Structure for Creative Problem Solving in TRIZ/USIT

Author: Toru Nakagawa
Abstract:
While TRIZ and other solving procedures advise to go through a generalized problem and its generalized solution, this may cause ambiguity by analogical mapping. USIT has refined the knowledge base developed in TRIZ without relying on analogical mapping.

The overall structure of creative problem solving in USIT has been built into a six-box scheme in the dataflow representation. User's specific but vague problem should be converted into a well-defined user's problem, and analyzed to obtain understandings of the present system and of its ideal system, then transformed (by USIT operators for solution generation) into ideas of new system(s), and further built into conceptual solutions, and finally implemented into user's specific solutions.
