Pavel Livotov – Complete Search of Innovation Concepts World Congress „TRIZ Future“, 6.-9.11.2001, Bath UK © TriSolver 1/7 Approach to Complete Search of Innovation Concepts and Customization of TRIZ-Tools

One of the significant advantages of TRIZ application for the industry is the possibility of systematically defining the complete search field for a concrete technical system (TS) or task. This step has to be done at the stage of problem formulating by the analysis of all potential conflicts between the components of the TS. For each conflict a pair of several technical contradictions, ideal final results and physical contradictions on the macro and micro level is to be formulated. Due to this approach a complete search tree with typically more than 100 formal physical problems could be created and solved with the known separation principles. New software- the TriSolver ‘Ideas Generator & Manager ’ supports a computer-aided implementation of the ARIZ-based method and of all TRIZ-principles, standards and checklists including contradiction matrix and effects pointer as well. Due to the open database the TRIZ principles and operators could be customized or extended by the user or combined for special tasks as e.g. cost reduction. This approach has been proven by the large experience with industrial innovation projects
