Looking for creative concepts?

Customer Driven Systematic Innovative Robust Designs is possible through the synergy between QFD, TRIZ and Taguchi.

 

Our friend to the left seems to have a problem or a contradiction. Is the contradiction self inflicted? Often, we assume that opposing conditions must exist at the same time or in the same space. Because of this self imposed constraint, two principles used in resolving physical contradictions by the TRIZ methodology are: separation in space, and separation in time.

For example our friend has no problem if the rectangular structure is needed first and the tubular figure is needed later.
