ANALYSIS

FUNCTION ANALYSIS
The TRIZ discipline and process for describing the system containing the

problem(s) in all its detail by listing all the components and all their
interactions. TRIZ Function Analysis is different from other forms in that it
includes all the negative, ineffective and excessive interactions in the
system, and this is key to a proper understanding of the problems and
potential solution points in the system. All interactions are expressed as
Subject-action-Object and it is important to use simple, clear language (no
acronyms) in order to be able to structure the problem correctly. Correct
use of this tool allows direct access to the worlds knowledge (which is
structured along similar lines) to locate the best solutions.

FUNCTION ANALYSIS CONT.


The Oxford Creativity method keeps all the rigor of TRIZ Function Analysis, and leads

to use of our simple Standard Solutions. It will also help you access and use the
available TRIZ software and web-based solutions. TRIZ Function Analysis is powerful
and links with other popular problem solving toolkits like Value Engineering, Six
Sigma and Lean Sigma all of which have their roots in the middle of the last century.

Trimming

Once the problems have been identified from the Function Analysis diagram we try
to simplify the system using the Trimming Rules. Often this step will eliminate
problems but it also of course reduces the cost of the system and increases its
ideality.
Solution map

After trimming we select one of the remaining problems to solve and identify where
we can solve it (in time and space). The range of possibilities constitutes your
solution map, and you choose which type of solution to try for according to what
constraints you have.
