This document provides an overview of TRIZ, the theory of inventive problem solving. It begins with definitions, explaining that TRIZ is a Russian acronym that was developed by Genrich Altschuller as a systematic approach to innovation. The document then outlines some classic and new TRIZ tools, such as the substance-field analysis for modeling problems, and the ideal final result process for defining desired solutions. It also discusses how TRIZ can be applied in various areas and influence different user types. In the overview, the document maps out examples of how TRIZ tools are interrelated and can be combined to solve problems in a systematic, non-random way.

4. Creativity is not a congenital gift.
Every engineer can learn to be
inventive.
Genrich Altschuller (TRIZ Developer)

5. THE GOAL AND THE SOLUTION IS THAT INNOVATION IS NOT RANDOM BUT
A SYSTEMATIC PROCESS WHICH FOLLOWS A PREDEFINED PROCEDURE.
When using knowledge, coincidence should not
be the decisive force. It limits the development
of innovations to randomly genius ideas.
Inventions need to be quickly feasible as new
products and services.
As far as useful ideas are available, everybody can
be inventive and have the capacity to develop
functional products which can be implemented
and put on the market.

6. DEFINITION
TRIZ
THE GOAL IS TO CONCENTRATE SUCCESS-PROMISING ASPECTS
DURING THE INVENTION PROCESS AND TO DEVELOP NEW
APPROACHES AT THE SAME TIME.
Methodology
The TRIZ toolbox
combines scientific
processes.
meaning
It is a world-wide
concept for
research and
development.
origin
TRIZ is Russian for
the “theory of
inventive problem-
solving”.
development
It was developed
by Genrich
Altschuller.

10. FINDAnalogies
ANDIDEAS
TRIZ finds similar
problems that have
already been solved.

THE SOLUTIONAPPROACH
These similar solutions
serve as sources of
innovation and are
adjusted to solve the
respective problem.
APPROACH
Instead of Searching for Solutions, Find Solutions
ENDRESULT
The end result is a high-
quality solution which
has already been tested,
which was systematically
derived and which is
better developed and
superior than solutions
merely based on
imagination and
inspiration.

18.  Within the operative zone, all substances are captured. The most important
elements are defined and transferred to the substance-field model.
 It consists of Substance 1 (S1) and Substance 2 (S2) and one field to exemplify
the interrelation. The impact flow is exemplified with arrows.

19. THE DWARVES MODEL
Example Water See-Saw – Problem
THE TIPPER WAGON (IN FORM OF A SEE-SAW) LETS WATER FLOW AS SOON AS
A CERTAIN LEVEL IS REACHED. PROBLEM: TIPPER WAGON WILL NEVER BE
COMPLETELY EMPTY BECAUSE IT AUTOMATICALLY TIPS BACK.
