Abstract

Discusses the problem definition and solving strategies contained in the TRIZ methodology. Constructed around the findings of over 1,500 person years of research, and the systematic extraction of knowledge from nearly 3 million of the world’s strongest patents, the Russian Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, TRIZ, has identified a number of design contradiction‐eliminating strategies, and distinct and predictable technology evolution patterns. These patterns and their use in the context of current and projected future manufacturing methods and systems are discussed.
