An example of a TRIZ implementation approach
The TRIZ theory, a theory of invention as a support to R and D activities; tools and illustrations of its implementation

Although the key word TRIZ often appears confusing to those who discover it, it's easy enough to imagine a TRIZ-based process that can be described as a usage approach. As part of our work on the theory, we have developed TRIZ-based methods that enable us to make use of the fundamentals in a procedural logic, and to address problems of varying complexity.

The simplest of these is shown in figure 10 .

The following sections break down each step and transition, and explain the overall methodology.
