Problem Solving

The book presents an innovative method that will free you from using the trial and error method of finding solutions to your problems, pointing you in the direction of a strong solution. This is a targeted search method.

You will save time and effort, and you will get a solution without disadvantages using this method.

The method has five steps, so it is easy to use, and easy to get good results. It has been refined and improved over 40 years by incorporating what we learned from using it, and incorporating the experiences of many others.

This book should be useful to engineers, scientists, students, inventors, and people solving complex problems in business, government, and social environments, as well as everyday problem solvers.

Algorithm of inventive problem solving (ARIZ) is a part of theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) developed by Genrich Altshuller. ARIZ consists of a program (sequence of actions) for the exposure and solution of contradictions, i.е. the solution of problems. ARIZ includes: the program itself, information support supplied by the knowledge base, and methods for the control of psychological factors, which are a component part of the methods for developing a creative imagination. Furthermore, sections of ARIZ are predetermined for the selection of problems and the evaluation of the received solution. Last modification of the algorithm developed by G. Altshuller is an algorithm of 1985 - ARIZ-85-C. ARIZ-85-C as a rule study step by step. Thus it is possible to solve problems, but it is impossible to understand all functions of ARIZ. ARIZ is intended not only for the solving difficult (not standard) problems, but also for development inventive (creative, system) thinking. The inventive thinking is thinking through contradictions. Thinking at which reveals an original causes (roots) of a problem. In my opinion, it is more important function. To carry out it is possible only having studied logic of ARIZ. The problem of given paper to consider logic of ARIZ.

This book describes the components of the inventive thinking and ways of its development.

The book contains a description of method of business consulting, business analysis and formulation of business strategy.

This book presents a system of the laws of technical system evolution - part of triz.

Easy to use glossary of TRIZ for experts and enthusiasts.
