PART 1
This is based on a particular problem faced by a selected industry. Participants are
expected to use TRIZ methodology to analyze and solve the problem.
In a factory, there is a metal mesh conveyor belt which moves semi-processed material
through a 5 meter long furnace. Although material is properly aligned at furnace input,
material emerges at the output in a misaligned manner. Since it is difficult to see the inside
of the furnace as it is totally encased and extremely hot, nobody knows what happened
inside. Provide potential solutions which have no productivity impact.

AGENDA
The output will be in a tidy arrangement and it will make the process of quality assurance (QA)
inspection of the processed material became easier. The inspection might be to differentiate those
material which have been nicely baked and not.
The processed material also will be easily transferred to other section for further processes required
if it is in the proper arrangement.

8. 3III) TRIZ PROCESS FLOW
A. Problem Definition
The misalignment of the output product after going through the furnace session.
B. Root cause identification
Before we conclude what is the possible cause of the problem, we take some time to
do the function analysis of the system as below.

9. 3III) TRIZ PROCESS FLOW
Possible cause:
•The long exposed of the extreme temperature in the encased furnace makes the raw
material gives a moving reaction.
•Problem with the metal mesh conveyor.
•Problem with the encased furnace.C
C. Solution Generation
Possible solution: The introduction of the metal case that will avoid any of the semi
processed material move during baking session.
D. Solution Implementation
As shown in section V.

10. 4IV) TRIZ TOOL USED
We decided to adapt the 2 Principle from 40 inventive Principle (Altshuller, 2002)
to the system.
Principle #10: Preliminary action (prior action – “Do it in advance”)
•Perform the required change of an object (either fully or partially) before it is needed.
•Pre-arrange objects such that they can come into action from the most convenient place
and without losing time for their delivery.
Principle# 11: Beforehand cushioning
•Prepare emergency means beforehand to compensate for the relatively low reliability of an
object.
The principle #10 from the well known Inventive Principle and has been proved the
success rate. With this principle and the introduction of the material cage to the system will
absolutely solve the misalignment problem faced by the manufacturing system.
The material cage is adopted from the principle #11: beforehand cushioning. It will act as a
guard to avoid the material become misaligned from its actual alignment when exposed to
the high temperature in the hot furnace.
