TRIZ research began with the assumption that there are universal principles of invention that are the basis for creative innovations for problem solving, and that if these principles were identified and codified, they could be taught to make the process of invention more predictable.
TRIZ operates on a abstraction process that transfers the problem from specific to general or to a higher level of abstraction then was tried to solve the general problem.
TRIZ has a set of principles that may be used to resolve the contradiction in the system, based on observations collected from the analysis and decomposition of patents.
TRIZ (pronounced [triz]) is a Russian acronym for "Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch" (Теория решения изобретательских задач), a Theory of solving inventive problems or Theory of inventive problems solving (TIPS)(less known as Theory of SolvingInventors' Problems), developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues since 1946.
TRIZ is a methodology, tool set, knowledge base, and model-based technology for generating innovative ideas and solutions for problem solving.
TRIZ, in contrast to techniques such as brainstorming (which is based on random idea generation), aims to create an algorithmic approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of old systems.
TRIZ recognizes this type of problem as an "inventive problem" and provides a structured approach for solving the conflicting elements of the problem simultaneously and in a cost effective manner thus making the problem solver an inventor.
TRIZ makes available to organizations a structured approach for solving tough technical problems which were, traditionally, solved by those with special creative talents within the organization.
TRIZ is not a tool which solves every problem; TRIZ is a tool which very nicely fills a niche which other tools like QFD, concept generation tools, design of experiments, design for manufacturability, etc. are unable to address.
TRIZ, pronounced as “trees”, was developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues in the former USSR starting in 1946.
Large and small companies are using TRIZ on many levels to solve real, practical everyday problems and to develop strategies for the future of technology.
TRIZ is in use at Ford, Motorola, Procter and Gamble, Eli Lilly, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, 3M, Siemens, Phillips, LG, and hundreds more.
TRIZ is mostly applied on technical problems, but expands nowadays also in other areas like business or psychology.
In 2003 ETRIA (the European TRIZ Association) is proposing its third annual TRIZ Future Conference where a broad spectrum of subjects in various fields will be presented and debated with experts, practitioners and newcomers to TRIZ.
TRIZ is a Russian acronym, the words of which, when translated into English, mean the "theory of inventive problem solving."
The reason TRIZ is so important is because it enables an organization to become truly innovative in formulating its strategic identity, and TRIZ pushes the minds of its leaders out onto the fuzzy edge of what they can become.
TRIZ, in concert with other Strategic Thinking tools, generates a set of data that changes the way organizations think and plan the future, and the way they connect strategy with execution.

The beauty of TRIZ is that it is a style of reasoning as well as a set of methods and that the essential knowledge base of TRIZ is available free of cost in the public domain.
TRIZ is perfect for the typically Russian problem of having very little money but many clever engineers, who have to use the resources they've got to get clever solutions.
TRIZ can help you see where your market is going and how you can get there before your competitors: whether that means showing you how to improve your existing products, or identifying what new products will come onto the market and make your existing products obsolete.
TRIZ and its many embodiments in various consulting and software programs is a powerful addition to problem solving tools available to engineers, human resources managers, organizational development personnel, and strategic planners.
Applying the heuristic rules that the TRIZ research uncovered, such as the patterns of technological evolution and the 40 principles of innovative problem solving has led us to new heights of creativity.
TRIZ has given us a left-brain methodology for breakthrough product innovation, a model for the product developers or problem solvers to use to organize and analyze their collective thoughts.
Thus, if their application of TRIZ creates radical, new, breakthrough ideas, they are less likely to reject them ("we've never done it that way") because their work with NLP has conditioned them to accept the new ideas.
TRIZ is a problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition, which accelerates the project team's ability to solve these problems creatively.
TRIZ is an international science of creativity that relies on the study of the patterns of problems and solutions, not on the spontaneous and intuitive creativity of individuals or groups.
TRIZ research began with the hypothesis that there are universal principles of creativity that are the basis for creative innovations that advance technology.
Using the TRIZmethodology, it is possible to generate concepts for reducing negative effects and improving the performance of existing designs.
TRIZ includes four analytical tools used to structure the innovative problem and six knowledge-base tools used to point in the direction of solution concepts.
TRIZ is weak, however, in the areas of customer-driven requirements and optimization.
TRIZ have some Potential that it was applied to a wide range of technical and Problemss in all fields.
TRIZ facilitate research work on Creative Process and Creative Phenomena, in order to reveal understanding of Creativity and innovation, which Produce information about their, in order to develop Inventionology and Creatology.
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 Ideation's TRIZ scientists.
TRIZ is an acronym for the Russian equivalent of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
The design problems included: securely sealing a metal end to a plastic body; developing a cone inside the beverage container that is part of the heating technology; coming up with a process to keep the container's contents sterile, and reconciling the chemistry causing the heat generation with the absorption rate of the container's contents.
According to deZanger and Slocum, TRIZ is far more ingrained among engineers in Russia, where learning to use available resources in new ways is second nature, and in Japan, home to the Mitsubishi Institute, where thousands of engineers are trained in TRIZ every year.
TRIZ is a heuristic science which studies trends of system evolution, reveals patterns of inventive solutions, and attempts to extract principles and understand a process of inventive thinking.
TRIZ is not just a number of techniques but a way of thinking, and TRIZ studied how inventions were produced – in some way, by possessing TRIZ skills we become capable of working just like strong inventors – and probably they used the same way of thinking as introduced by TRIZ.
TRIZ studies how to deal with a category of problems which we call “inventive”, and these “inventive” problems can arise everywhere, not necessarily in technology only: in business, in organizations, in family life.
TRIZ allowed us to look at all possible solutions that would not have been obvious through any traditional engineering analysis.
TRIZ demonstrated that the conventional "trial and error" approach was no longer a viable alternative.
Moreover, despite the initial reluctance of our engineers to accept someone that was not intimately involved with our products or processes, our concerns were quickly put to rest when the solutions were presented they were elegant and ones that we know we couldn't have come up with on our own.
TRIZ (2) the conflict will not be used to establish compromises in performance, but to start the TRIZ analysis for physical and technical contradictions.
TRIZ (11) the design of the equipment to make a product can be enhance by looking a the evolution of the equipment and make a quantum jump in the equipment design, there by improving quality and profitability.
In contrast to the first TRIZ Day, conducted on May 18, 2005 which was more focused on explaining the TRIZ basics, this year event was dedicated to exposing the practical aspects of applying TRIZ within different areas of activities: from solving problems related to redefining business strategy to technological problems and creating new breakthrough products.
Modern Systematic Innovation has a broad area of application, and it is not surprising that the number of success cases is steadily growing worldwide and TRIZ becomes a major paradigm for enabling, accelerating and boosting innovation in both red and blue oceans.
During the closure minutes of the event and follow-up discussions, it was proposed to continue further collaboration among the participants by establishing the TRIZ Network in the Netherlands.

TRIZ (pronounced "TREEZ", the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is an established science, methodology, tools and knowledge- and model-based technology for stimulating and generating innovative ideas and solutions for problem solving.
TRIZ science expands systemengineering approaches and provides powerful systemic methods and tools for problem formulation, system- and failure analysis, both as-is and could be, i.e.
TRIZ basic postulates, methods and tools, including training methodologies invented by H.Altshuller are now further developed and significantly enhanced by his followers, researchers and trainers, particularly known as I-TRIZ.
TRIZ (pronounced TREEZ): the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
Russian engineer and scientist Genrich S. Altshuller (1926-1998), after systematically studying and cataloguing patents looking for principles of innovation, put forth the idea (1956) that the evolution of a technical system is not entirely a random process, but rather is governed by certain objective laws.
An Introduction to TRIZ: The Russian Theory of Inventive Problem Solving by Stan Kaplan (1996)
TRIZ practitioners continually demonstrate that applying common solutions for the resolution of contradictions, identified as effective when applied to parallel problem in the world patent base, radically improves the design of systems and products.
TRIZ practitioners estimate that over two million patents worldwide have now been reviewed to identify patterns and regularities that contribute to the further refinement of TRIZ.
