Abstract:
The biggest reason for slow penetration of TRIZ into
industries in Western countries is that very rich contents of TRIZ knowledge
bases and individual methods of problem solving have been tried to teach
without clear overall procedure/structure for problem solving. It has been
traditional that principal solution generation methods in TRIZ, including
Inventive Principles, Inventive Standards, and Trends of Evolution, are applied
separately on the basis of their own problem analysis methods.
Present paper demonstrates, on the other hand, that Unified
Structured Inventive Thinking (USIT) is a simplified and unified version of
TRIZ which has overcome the above-mentioned weak-point. All the solution
generation methods in TRIZ have been reorganized into a unified hierarchical
system of USIT Solution Generation Operators. On this basis, USIT has a clear
procedure for creative problem solving process as shown in a flowchart and also
has a clear structure, as shown in a dataflow diagram, of transforming problem
information stepwise into solution information. ...
