Evolution and Transformation Ideation Way TRIZ restructuring and expansion (I-TRIZ): More power plus simplicity New tools… New Applications: AFD, DE… Complete process computerization Trial and Error: Simplicity, no power Computerization of selected tools Classical TRIZ: Complexity and power Plain simplification: Simplicity minus power Selected simple tools (Contradiction Matrix, etc.)

13. Inventive Problem Solving Anticipatory Failure Determination A systematic procedure for resolving tough technological problems, enhancing system parameters, improving quality, reducing cost, etc. for current generations of products and technologies. Failure Analysis A systematic procedure for identifying the root causes of a failure or other undesired phenomenon in a system, and for making corrections in a timely manner. Failure Prediction A systematic procedure for identifying beforehand, and then preventing, all dangerous or harmful events that might be associated with a system. Control of Intellectual Property A systematic procedure for increasing IP value and providing protection from infringement and circumvention. IPS AFD CIP I-TRIZ Ideation TRIZ Applications
