Topic
TRIZ Innovative Problem Solving

TRIZ (pronounced “treez”) is the Russian abbreviation of what can be translated as “the theory
of inventive problem solving.” It was developed by Genrich Saulovich Altshuller (1926-1998)
who was interested in basing creativity on science. TRIZ is showing up more and more
frequently today in success stories of innovative solutions to problems in technology and in
nontechnical fields. Many Fortune Global 500 companies such as Ford, Procter & Gamble and
Mitsubishi have used TRIZ to develop better products more quickly. More and more small
companies and individual inventors are using TRIZ. People in fields as diverse as marketing,
education and management are using TRIZ methods to solve their problems. TRIZ topics for
your operations dissertation could include:
 How Do We Solve Problems?
 introduction to TRIZ
 TRIZ Algorithms of Invention
 Principles for Innovation: 40 Ways to Create Good Solutions
 Using TRIZ with Six Sigma and Other Quality Improvement Systems
