| Abstract: | In many companies, tools directly or indirectly related to the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), are used. Some of the TRIZ tools are based on the application of condensed technical knowledge, others are special techniques for directed creativity. The usage of TRIZ and its tools should lead to improvement of efficiency within the innovation process as well as to more and smarter problem solutions. More than 40 reported applications of TRIZ in companies show that usually not the whole set of TRIZ tools is used. This is surprising, since in the original TRIZ literature all the tools are recommended for usage in a classified order named ARIS. A cluster analysis of the applications reveals that there are three subsets: 1) basic TRIZ, 2) resource and ideality-based TRIZ, and 3) substance-field based TRIZ. |
