The Ideation/TRIZ methodology (I-TRIZ) is based on:

• TRIZ in its "classical" form (TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the abbreviation that, translated literally, means Theory of the Solution of Inventive Problems). Classical TRIZ was developed in the former Soviet Union from 1946 until the mid-1980s.
• Advancements to TRIZ based on the practical experience of TRIZ practitioners over the last two decades, and more than $7,000,000 in reinvestment devoted to continuous research and U.S. adaptation of the methodology by Ideations TRIZ scientists.

I-TRIZ began evolving in the mid-1980s when TRIZ, in its classical form, ceased development. The research and development of I-TRIZ has continued unabated since its inception. As a result, I-TRIZ not only contains enhanced versions of classical TRIZ tools, but includes an expanded knowledge base, new tools for applying this knowledge and for analyzing problems more effectively, and the following comprehensive applications:

• Inventive Problem Solving (IPS) -- A method for eliminating technological roadblocks related to the development and use of products and processes. Applicable to all engineering disciplines, IPS can be used to solve problems related to design, research and development, manufacturing, safety, reliability, and quality assurance.
• Anticipatory Failure Determination (AFD) -- A method for analyzing, predicting and eliminating failures in systems, products, and processes.
• Directed Evolution font> (DE) -- A method for developing a comprehensive set of scenarios describing future generations of a system. DE is based on an extensive set of patterns that reveal the evolutionary tendencies of technological systems.

Ideation Brainstorming

Simplified tool for solving problems of light to medium complexity in individual or team work format.

Ideation Brainstorming has been developed to help users perform lightweight problem solving. The product is also equipped with an introduction to I-TRIZ to give users a taste of the methodology’s basic principles for inventive problem solving while providing the knowledge and skills to brainstorm ideas. The software is structured in an easy-to-use four-step process.

Define Your Problem – Defining the system you want to improve or create is a critical first step. Your answers will determine the systemic level you use to consider the problem. By describing your system’s primary function, the supersystems it belongs to, detailing inputs and outputs of the system, causes and critical conditions of the problem and potential consequences if the situation does not improve; you will create a true understanding of the problem, identify your barriers to success and form an Ideal Vision of the solution. Once you have accomplished this step you are ready to move on to the next stage.

Formulate Tasks and Brainstorm – Typically when problem-solving, contradictions will surface. The software’s 120 Inventive Principles or “operators” (patterns of invention) represent best inventive practices that allow you to generate a list of ideas on how to resolve contradictions or in simpler terms – find a way to counteract any harmful functions that may result while improving useful functions – and move to realization of the solution’s Ideal Vision.

Develop Concepts – In step three, you’ll harness the ideas you generated from Step two and combine them into concepts. This segment also helps you consider resources you may have to increase ideality.

Evaluate Results – In the final segment, you’ll address subsequent tasks and document your solution.

Knowledge Wizard

Professional tool for inventive problem solving in non-technical areas (business, management, marketing, logistics, etc.).

A business tool for systematic problem solving, ideal for anyone — from students to managers — involved in resolving everyday or complex business dilemmas. This software helps users capture detailed information about a problem situation and translate that data into a visual model that links cause-and-effect relationships to specific events and conditions. Using the patented Problem Formulator™, the Knowledge Wizard then generates a comprehensive set of “directions” for innovative thinking, helping users develop a broader cross-section of ideas and puts them in a position to make confident, well-informed decisions. This dynamic approach leverages individual and team knowledge, and helps pinpoint the most promising opportunities.

Failure Analysis

Professional tool for revealing root causes of undesired effects (accidents, failures, production defects, etc.) and their elimination (prevention).
This powerful software tool utilizes the I-TRIZ application Anticipatory Failure Determination (AFD) to analyze failures whose causes are unknown, then helps the user find ways to prevent or eliminate the revealed failure mechanisms in the system.

Also included is Basic I-TRIZ e-Learning, which teaches you the foundations of the I-TRIZ methodology (on which Anticipatory Failure Determination is based) in 4 hours or less.

Failure Prediction

Professional tool for predicting possible undesired effects and events (accidents, failures, production defects, etc.) and their prevention.

A valuable tool for design, quality, reliability, manufacturing, R&D, and safety professionals. This system employs the I-TRIZ application Anticipatory Failure Determination (AFD) to predict and prevent potential failures in systems, products, processes and technologies. This aggressive approach helps users determine potential harmful effects and weak points in a system, product or process, then prevent them from manifesting.

Also included is Basic I-TRIZ e-Learning, which teaches you the foundations of the I-TRIZ methodology (on which Anticipatory Failure Determination is based) in 4 hours or less.
