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.

• SI or Initial Situation: this state defines the start of the process. We are faced with a situation in its initial state, and this state may...
