A New Approach to Initial Situation Analysis

By Shree Phadnis

Abstract

The Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving (ARIZ) is an excellent tool to solve problems once an individual has identified the mini problems that need to be solved. In real life situations, however, the problems are seldom clearly defined and there can be several problems and contradictions to solve in the initial situation.

Introduction

From an updated matrix of contradictions to semantic analysis, subcategories of inventive principles and a list of scientific effects, some interactive applications have attempted to simplify the problem formulation phase as well as the transition from a generic problem to a whole set of specific solutions.
Inventive problem solving with the algorithm (ARIZ) shows how and when to apply the tools of The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). It is made up of several step-by-step procedures to solve complicated problems when other TRIZ tools will not work.
