"Ideation TRIZ" is a thinking technique designed to quickly identify the causes of problems and to derive specific solutions swiftly and comprehensively. The thinking process consists of four approaches, with the core being "Inventive Problem Solving" (IPS). Now, based on this IPS, the application areas have expanded, evolving to address not only the fields of "research and development" but also many technical problem-solving aspects related to "production technology, safety management, quality control, quality assurance, cost reduction, and performance improvement," as well as "general social issues."

We would like to introduce a case of support provided by our "Ideation TRIZ" to a mechanical parts manufacturer. Regarding a component of our main product, the automotive engine, we attempted to invent a new structure to improve its performance and file a patent. However, it was discovered that the same invention had already been patented in Japan by a German manufacturer. We considered giving up on the patent application, but at the suggestion of our consultant, we held a workshop to generate new inventions addressing the problem that the original invention aimed to solve. As a result, six new inventions were created, and we filed patents for them, five of which were granted. [Challenge] ■ We attempted to file a patent for a new structure, but the same invention had already been patented in Japan by a German manufacturer. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce an example of support provided by our "Ideation TRIZ" to an electronics manufacturer. Many teams involved in research, development, and production technology for new product development had unresolved technical issues for periods ranging from 10 years to 6 months. In response, we conducted a pilot project for problem-solving using our service. As a result, all teams were able to generate solutions, and the savings from being able to produce solutions in a short time were estimated to be at least 10 million yen due to reduced labor costs. [Challenges] - Many teams involved in research, development, and production technology for new product development had unresolved technical issues for periods ranging from 10 years to 6 months. - Each of these issues was a so-called "inventive problem" that could not be solved with existing solutions. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
