The book by Yuri Salamatov, Ph.D., one of the world's leading TRIZ researchers and practitioners, supplies all the detailed and current information you will need to know about TRIZ. The book first appeared in Russian language and became very popular among students, engineers and scientists. TRIZ is a Russian acronym which stands for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving originated by Genrikh Altshuller. TRIZ introduces a systematic approach to solving innovative problems. Thoroughly revised, updated, and extended, this new uniquely organized text provides both students and working professionals with detailed assistance in understanding the underlying principles of TRIZ. The text explains the procedures and techniques for applying TRIZ to solving innovative problems in structured and logical way. It reveals how specific techniques, developed from the basic principles of TRIZ, can be used in a broad range of applications. Practical rather than theoretical, this book presents numerous examples on illustrating how the basic TRIZ principles and techniques are applicable to a limitless variety of inventive problems. The examples can be used to master skills with TRIZ while reading the book. A detailed coverage of TRIZ knowledge bases and techniques make the text an excellent reference sourcebook. This book promotes a better appreciation for the increasingly important role played by TRIZ in engineering and will prove to be essential to practicing engineers, designers, consultants, teachers and researchers. The book provides the answers to the following questions: Why do we need to know and use TRIZ? Why do innovative problems arise? How to formulate innovative problems in a right way? How to solve innovative problems within a fraction of time and with the highest degree of effectiveness? How to choose the right direction of improving design products? How to accurately predict the technology evolution? Features: Classification of innovative solutions. Explanation of origins of inventive problems. Mental inertia and how to overcome it. Methods for solving problems with contradictions. Generic patterns of inventive solutions. Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving. Laws and trends of the technology evolution. 111 practical problems to solve. TRIZ knowledge bases: Collection of inventive principles; Altshuller’s Matrix for problem solving; Collection of inventive standards; Trends of the Technology Evolution; Brief pointers to physical and chemical effects.
