Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ): A systematic methodology for inventive problem solving, used in product development and innovation.
Contradiction: A conflicting requirement or trade-off in a design or system that needs to be resolved.
Function Analysis: The analysis of a product or system in terms of its functions, inputs, and outputs.
Ideality: The degree to which a product or system satisfies its requirements and minimizes its negative effects.
Inventive Principles: A set of guidelines for resolving contradictions and finding new solutions, developed as part of the TRIZ methodology.
Physical Contradiction: A contradiction that arises from the fundamental laws of physics and can be resolved through physical means.
Technical Contradiction: A contradiction that arises from the limitations of existing technology and can be resolved through technical means.
Resources: The materials, tools, and techniques available for solving a problem.
Problem Formulation: The process of defining and understanding the problem to be solved.
Solution Generation: The process of developing and evaluating potential solutions to a problem.
Solution Implementation: The process of bringing a solution into practice, including design, prototyping, and testing.
Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving (ARIZ): A step-by-step procedure for solving inventive problems, developed as part of the TRIZ methodology.
