TIPS-Theory of Inventive Problem Solving

FEKT-SBTRAcad. year: 2005/2006

Theory of Inventive Problem Solving -TIPS: Analyses of Component/Operation, Structure, Functions, Parameters and Costs needed for its realisation at existing object (product or process). Functionality, problem and cost signification of Components/Operations. Dignosis of signification in relation to given aims of innovation. Procedures of trimming (cost reducing) and developing by additional functions. Increasing of competitive advantage by feature transfer from alternative systems. Tendencies of technology development obtained by analyses of millions patents. Solving of technical problems by complete algorithm (ARIZ): Technical contradiction and physical contradiction at innovative task as starting poing of solving process. Solving of contradictions by recommended heuristics and separation priciples. Solving of problem models by recommended transformations. Solving of technical functions by recommended effects from natural sciences (physics, chemistry, geometry). Expert system IM-TechOptimizer as computer support of TRIZ methodology. Searching of relevant information at www pages and world patent databases by semantic technology IM-Knowledgist. Thema is transdiciplinary, recommended for all students of all technical branches, mainly before study end and for PhD.
