Managing the Ideality Concept and the Evaluation of The Innovation Level

摘要

Lately, there is the great stimulus for research of modelling the innovation process for products, especially for SME companies. This paper present some researches regarding usage of ideality as a basic concept derived from Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methodology. TRIZ is a structured approach to managing innovation that puts a scientific process behind problem solving so individuals can generate more solutions of a higher quality, in less time. The ideal final result (IFR) is one of the tools used during the "problem definition" phase of TRIZ. IFR is a description of the best possible solution for the problem situation (or contradiction), regardless of the resources or constraints of the original problem. The IFR has the following characteristics: eliminates the deficencies of the original system preserves the advantages of the original system; does not make the system more complicated (uses free or available resources); does not introduce new disadvantages. The Ideal Final Result encourages the use of breakthrough thinking by allowing you to visualize an ideal solution that leverages advantages of the current system while disregarding any deficiencies. The process of using this approach starts by defining/formulating the Ideal Final Resu this helps to: encourage breakthrough thinking, inhibit moves to less ideal solutions (reject compromises), lead to the discussions that will clearly establish the boundaries of the project. On this basis, the authors suggest methodologies which uses the ideality concept in product development, first of all for establish the level of innovation of a product. The IFR uses the technical tools of TRIZ effectively in solving the right problem and this is done by controlling the level of negative characteristics of the or undesired costs.
