Albert Einstein  What is TRIZ? TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”. It is a systematic problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition or spontaneous creativity of individuals or groups  What is TRIZ? Developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues from 1946 through to 1985 in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) Based on the study of patterns of problems and solutions TRIZ provides repeatability, predictability, and reliability due to its structure and algorithmic approach It improves individual or team’s ability to solve problems How did it come about?  Father of TRIZ, Genrich Saulovich Altshuller Born 15 October 1926 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan Invented diving apparatus without scuba tank at age 14 Interested to teach invention from young age But arrested in 1950 and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment Started sharing the discovery in 1956 via Journal of Psychology Became a science fiction writer to share his passion Devoted life to TRIZ study from 1958 Shared his discovery from 1958 to 1967 BUT no one believes him Established Public Laboratory of Inventive Methodology in 1970 Set-up Public Institute of Inventive Creativity (for youth) in 1971 Both institutions were shut down in 1974 Promote TRIZ outside of Russia beginning 1990s Established Russian TRIZ Association in 1989 Initiated International TRIZ Association in 1997 Passed away 24 September 1998 Genrich Altshuller World War 1- Food shortage in Russia German patent library to US in exchange for industrial equipment Althshuller wrote a letter to Stalin In jail: To sleep or not to sleep Concentration camp in Gulag in Siberia Was sent to a criminal prison camp where he told stories to prisoners (scientist/lawyers/architects) Was released from prison 1.5 years after Stalin death (1953) International TRIZ Association Idea mooted in 1997 Officially registered on 16 September 1999 Has 94 members globally Guardian of TRIZ Body of Knowledge and Certification Process Headed by Oleg Feygenson (elected Sep 2019) Malaysia TRIZ Innovation Association Registered on 20 July 2010 Member of International TRIZ Association since November 2011 Has closed to 1,000 members by end of 2018 Lead by Dr Yeoh Teong San, President of MyTRIZ Certified more than 10,000 practitioners from 2010 to end of 2018  1 Problems and solutions were Key Discoveries repeated across industries & sciences  40 Inventive Principles for solving Problems Initial analysis of patents (worldwide) 2 Patterns of technical evolution were repeated across industries 200,000 Synthesized 40,000 & sciences  Technology down to just Trends to evolve a product to innovative the next generation patents 3 Innovations used scientific effects outside the field from where the original problem was found  Scientific Effects can be used to solve problems in Today, more than 2.8M patents have been analyzed & unique ways investigated  1 Key Discoveries Patterns of technical evolution were repeated Problems and solutions were repeated across industries & sciences across industries & sciences  Technology Trends to evolve a technical  40 Inventive Principles for solving Problems system to the next generation Innovations used scientific effects outside the field from where the original problem was found  Scientific Effects can be used to solve problems in unique ways TRIZ is a statistically based family of principles and strategies enabling engineers to identify potential solution paths of technical problems TRIZ Hypothesis Someone somewhere has already solved this problem or one very similar to it Creativity is now finding that solution and adapting it to this particular problem Why TRIZ is powerful?

It acts as a purpose to prevent flies and other impurities from contaminating our food. This is also considered as the habitual practices of Malaysians to serve their cooked meals on the table and cover it with ‘tudung Saji’. Then, some of the meals are left like that from lunch until dinner time, resulting it to be cool and some may go bad. Besides that, the immeasurable amount of space it takes to cover all of the servings may hinder us from doing other tasks on the table. Therefore, we have created an innovative product in order to solve those burdensome problems with advance functional systems, called i-Saji. The traditional ‘tudung saji’ impractically takes up a lot of table space. Everyone must come into a problem where it is a hassle to warm up Traditional saji is pyramid To fit in, foods covered by their meals in the fridge. Besides that, it is shaped with large radius stacking them on top of each base and smaller space other making the bottom part shocking by how fast your meals can go bad dishes exposed to more germs vertically. due to bacteria or other contaminations get in from the upper dishes. your meal.
