Simplifying Inventive Standards (Part-5)

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

As the “inventive standards” are really complicated, Generich Altshuller and other creators of “inventive standards” created a set of standards (grouped under class-5) to help using the standards. There are totally 17 standards in class-5. This article will try to simplify all these 17 standards under class-5.

While writing these articles the author realized that although the grouping and ordering of the 76 standards don’t appear to be systematic there is no easy method of regrouping or reorganizing the standards. The author tried regrouping and reordering the standards in various different ways but nothing really came out satisfactory. Much more work is necessary to simplify the 76 standards to make them usable by a larger group of TRIZ practitioners. Till that time the standards will remain only partially used.

Simplifying Inventive Standards (Part-4)

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

Although “Inventive Standards” (or standard solutions) is one of the most powerful techniques of TRIZ it is hardly used by any TRIZ practitioner because of its complexity. The objective of this series of articles is to explain the rules in simple language. In this article we will discuss all the solutions in class-4. There are 17 solutions in class-4 all of which deal with the problems relating to measurement and detection.  For example some objects may be extremely large (e.g. earth) or extremely small (e.g., atoms) and cannot be easily measured. Some items like germs and viruses are not visible and hence difficult to detect. Similarly measuring various parameters associated with rare phenomena (like earth quakes or plane crashes) are difficult. These standards show various ways to detect and measure even under most difficult situations.

Simplifying inventive standards (Part-3)

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

According to TRIZ most problems are “standard” problems. The standard problems are those which are known to have occurred many times in many places. Besides these problems have been solved by different people in different places (may be in different contexts) at different times. As there are many known solutions to such problems it is possible to abstract the rules of solution from the group of individual solutions. TRIZ provides a set of 76 rules to solve such standard problems.

Although “Inventive Standards” (or standard solutions) is one of the most powerful techniques of TRIZ it is hardly used by any TRIZ practitioner because of its complexity. The objective of this series of articles is to explain the rules in simple language. Conventionally the solutions of Class-3 have never been presented with S-Field diagrams. The diagrams presented in this article are innovation of the author. If some TRIZniks don’t accept the correctness of these diagrams they are welcome to give their comments and suggestions.

Simplifying inventive standards (Part-2)

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

In the previous article we discussed all the standard solutions in class-1. In this article we will discuss all the standard solutions in class-2. The standards of class 2 intend to improve the system without inserting too much changes to the system and without increasing the complexity of the system. These standards guide how to use chain SFields, Double SFields and complex S-Field Models.

Simplifying inventive standards (Part-1)

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

Although “Inventive Standards” (or standard solutions) is one of the most powerful techniques of TRIZ it is hardly used by any TRIZ practitioner because of its complicacy. This article describes the rules of “inventive standards” in simple language one by one for all the standards of class-I. The standards of other classes will be described in separate articles.

Management Information Systems Vs. Other Information Systems

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

A Management Information System (MIS) is a systematic organization and presentation of information that is generally required by the management of an organization. In one sense MIS is a part or subset of the Information Management System of an Organization. There are different types of information systems such as, Transaction Processing System (TPS), Decision Support System (DSS), Executive Support System (ESS) etc. having some differences and some overlapping.

MIS is different from DSS as the later uses unstructured data to take non-standard decisions. MIS is different from TPS and the later is used for day-to-day transactions of the organization. Thus the purpose of MIS is to organize and present such information that would help the middle and higher level management for taking better and more effective decisions to increase the productivity of the organization and gain competitive advantage.

Introduction to Management Information Systems

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

A Management Information System (MIS) is an information system that is intended to be used by the higher management of an organization. The MIS generally collects summarized data from different departments or subsystems of an organization and presents in a form that is helpful to the management for taking better decisions for the organization.
