• Technical Seminar

"Ideation TRIZ" is a thinking technique designed to quickly identify the causes of problems and swiftly and comprehensively derive specific solutions. 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 "research and development" but also a wide range of technical problem-solving related to "production technology, safety management, quality control, quality assurance, cost reduction, and characteristic 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 automobile engine, we attempted to invent a new structure to improve its performance and apply for a patent, only to find 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 aimed at solving the problem that our invention was addressing. As a result, six inventions were created, and we applied for patents, five of which were granted. [Challenge] ■ We attempted to apply for a patent on 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 a case of support provided by our "Ideation TRIZ" to a manufacturer of industrial optical equipment. The development team at the company was struggling with a significant issue in the new laser device they were developing and requested our assistance as they could not find a decisive solution. Out of about ten potential solutions, one was deemed the best by our consultant and recommended. This solution successfully resolved the issue, and additionally, new secondary effects were achieved, further enhancing the device's performance. [Challenges] - The development team was struggling with a significant issue in the new laser device they were developing. - They could not find a decisive solution. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case 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.

We would like to introduce a case study of our support using "Ideation TRIZ" for a comprehensive machinery manufacturer. We tackled the challenge of developing a concept for a large-scale technological system, but we were unable to obtain a concept with sufficiently concrete technical elements to hand over to the development team. As a result, we decided to try our service, which led to the development and integration of approximately 20 concepts, resulting in at least three candidates for patent applications. [Case Overview] ■ Challenge - We wanted to develop a concept for a large-scale technological system as a new development theme. - We were unable to obtain a concept with sufficiently concrete technical elements to hand over to the development team. ■ Outcome - Developed and integrated approximately 20 concepts, resulting in at least three candidates for patent applications. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
