Triz 40, Skill practice.
By Daniel de Haan, Guy Dentan, Stijn Hagman & Taeke Verbree
In conclusion, Triz 40 is a principle of invention to find a solution for every problem.
Our problem:
-
I burn in the sun.
During this skill practice, we had to analyze the problem and find a solution. How did we do that? We chose two of the 40 principles.
For our problem we chose the following principles:
-
principle 9. A preliminary anti-action. Analyzing the problem beforehand, and figure out what can go wrong, and take action.
-
principle 20. Continuity of useful action. Creating a continuous flow and get rid of all the useless unproductive actions.
The reason we chose these principles is that we wanted to take preliminary actions beforehand so that burning would be avoided.
These principles should be repeated many times a day because we can burn when we spend long periods of time in the sun.
If you merge these principles together you have a solution for the problem.
TRIZ claims that by studying an individual parameter that is causing a problem (e.g., the weight of an object needs to be reduced), and the other parameters with which it conflicts (e.g., the lower weight would require thinner material, which is more likely to undergo catastrophic failure), solutions can be created.
And this is actually the simplification of some fact. Namely, the structured contents of each of the cells within the Contradiction Matrix, (i.e. cells fulfilled with ordered principles and identified by their order numbers) - the principles of inventions have been chosen, due to realized necessary statistical extensive studies.
