Improving Inventive Design Methodology's Agility

摘要

Inventive Design (ID) methodology has been developed in four main phases, from initial situation analysis to solution concept, in order to overcome TRIZ limitations. However, this methodology needs to optimize its performance, because it takes a lot of time to obtain the best solution concepts. In addition, the ability of ID to give the best result depends on individual knowledge and experience of designer, and correctness of initial situation analysis. The proposed methodology in this article uses a collection of tools and combines a long-term vision for continuous improvement. This improvement method focuses on removing the non-value added activities during the process and maximizing the quality of the results. Integration of this proposed methodology with ID framework will eliminate the wastes, which occur in different phases of ID method and increase its overall efficiency and agility.
