Reducing Time-to-Market is imperative in competition. Using TRIZ technology to generate breakthrough concepts and ideas, solve conflicts without trade-offs, develop a road map of innovation, and solve long-term planning dilemmas has become the real key to success. TRIZ (the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is based on utilizing patterns found in the most innovative inventions. It involves a systematic analysis of a problem and the application of a series of guidelines for the generation of solution alternatives. TRIZ routinely solves even the most difficult problems that include contradictions. This course enhances engineering problem formulation and problem solving skills, and provides a strategic advantage in new product development. Basic benefits from using TRIZ include: methodology provides advantages in innovation in order to develop better products and processes at a lower cost, in less time and with less people; provides the base for a systematic innovation; faster growth through increased inventiveness and creative problem solving; better understanding of technology trends; TRIZ enhances logical, critical and analytical thinking of its user; and a competitive advantage. Engineers, scientists, engineering managers, and anyone searching for innovative solutions to their engineering problems benefit from this course.
