The magical alchemy——TRIZ
During the Cold War, the agents of Western countries led by the United States and the former Soviet Union The KGB has conducted countless thrilling espionage wars, one of which revolved around the so-called magical "Philosopher's Touch." Because the United States, Germany and other Western countries were amazed by the creative capabilities of the former Soviet Union in military, industrial and other aspects. They called the mysterious weapon that created such miracles the "Mass Touch". However, the powerful KGB made European and American countries only hope that " Technique" sighed.
So what exactly is this magical "golden magic"? Why is it so powerful?
This "Alchemy" is currently the world's famous theory of inventive problem solving, referred to as TRIZ theory. It was founded by the former Soviet inventor G. S. Altshuller in 1946. TRIZ stands for "Inventive Problem Solving Theory". The Russian abbreviation of "Solution Theory", later Altshuller was also honored as the father of TRIZ.
In 1946, Altshuller began research work on inventing problem-solving theory. At that time, Altshuller was working in the Patent Office of the Caspian Navy of the former Soviet Union. In the process of handling famous invention patents from various countries around the world, he always considered this question: when people invent and create and solve technical problems, are there scientific methods and methods that can be followed? How can we quickly realize new inventions or solve technical problems? The answer is yes! Altshuller found that product improvements, technological changes, and innovations in any field are the same as biological systems. They all have production, growth, maturity, aging, and death, and there are rules to follow. If people master these rules, they can proactively design products and predict future product trends. In the following decades, Altshuller devoted his life to the research and improvement of TRIZ theory. Under his leadership, research institutions, universities, and enterprises in the former Soviet Union formed the TRIZ research group, which analyzed nearly 2.5 million high-level invention patents in the world, summarized the regular patterns followed by the development and evolution of various technologies, and solved various problems. Based on the innovative principles and laws of technical contradictions and physical contradictions, a comprehensive theoretical system composed of various methods and algorithms for solving technology and realizing innovative development has been established. The TRIZ theoretical system has been established by integrating the principles and laws of multi-disciplinary fields.
In the former Soviet Union, the TRIZ method has been used as a required subject for university majors and has been widely used in the engineering field. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of TRIZ researchers immigrated to the United States and other Western countries. TRIZ spread in the West and received great attention. The research and practice of TRIZ were rapidly popularized and developed. Research, consulting institutions and companies based on TRIZ have emerged in Northwest Europe, the United States, Taiwan and other places, and some universities have listed TRIZ as an engineering design methodology course. After more than half a century of development, TRIZ theory and methods have now developed into a mature theory and method system for solving practical problems in new product development. It has strong engineering practicability and has been tested in practice. Now it has been widely used around the world. Application, thousands of major inventions have been created, and significant economic and social benefits have been achieved for well-known enterprises.
The introduction of TRIZ theory into China has only happened in recent years, but it has gradually attracted the attention of many domestic scientific research institutions, companies and experts. In terms of innovative methods and technology research and application with TRIZ theory as the core, At the forefront is my country's Yiweixun Technology Co., Ltd. The company is a high-tech enterprise engaged in computer-aided innovative technology and technical consulting. Their innovative technology research level is currently at the forefront of the world. They have located their innovative technology R&D center in Minsk, Belarus, the birthplace of theoretical and applied research on innovative technology in the world. There are hundreds of innovative technology theory experts there and are the leaders in today's innovative technology research; in China, there are industry innovative technology In research and development, we focus on the application and promotion of innovative technologies in the field of engineering technology centered on China.
The complete set of computer-aided innovation solutions they provide is playing a role in many domestic scientific research institutes and large corporate research institutions, providing technical support for rapidly improving our innovation technology level.
TRIZ helps Samsung create miracles
According to statistics, in 2003, Samsung Electronics used TRIZ theory to guide project research and development and saved related costs of US$1.5 billion. At the same time, it applied it in 67 research and development projects. TRIZ technology has successfully applied for 52 patents. It is rare for just one innovative technology to have such a big impact on a multinational company, and TRIZ founder G. S. Altshuller did not expect it.
In the past seven years from 1997, when Samsung introduced TRIZ theory to 2003, Samsung has achieved significant innovation results by applying TRIZ. However, many innovation links still require the assistance of TRIZ experts, and these experts They often have more than ten years of TRIZ application experience and are familiar with different engineering fields. We therefore call Samsung’s innovation model “Expert AIDED INNOVATION”.
