WHAT WE DO
We would single out in the picture six basic directions of effective TRIZ application where our company is competitive and where we have broad practical experience:
1. Existing product improvement; 2. New product development; 3. Manufacturing technology improvement; 4. Patent overcoming and new patent development; 5. Short- and long-term forecasting; 6. Scientific and research engineering.
In conditions of real manufacturing, the improvement of an existing product takes up the most significant portion of the effort. How to increase functionality of a product or how to reduce customer complaints about an existing product are always key concerns with manufacturers.
In conditions of strong competition, our company tries to develop the best parameters of new products with minimum cost to market and to attract new consumers. One of the components of this cost reduction strategy is manufacturing technology. This direction of TRIZ application takes the second position and is related to perfection of an existing technology.
The third direction most often use of TRIZ is the development of new products that are basically more modern modification of commercial products. As an example, a digital photo camera with an 8 megapixel matrix is replaced with a 12 and more megapixel matrix camera.
The next direction where we intensively use TRIZ is in scientific-and-research engineering. Its focus is the development of the next generations of existing products. For example, the development of cell phones with a new feature for receiving live video broadcasting.
Very close to this direction is short-term and long-term prediction for the development of brand new products for market. And at last, one more direction is new patent development and overcoming competitive patents. All these directions are presented in three main our activities.
PROBLEM SOLVING
____________________
Improvement of an existing products correlated first, with cost reduction of manufacturing , second, with new product development and then, with the manufacturing technology improvement. So all these directions related to area of problem solving where TRIZ application is most powerefull. We offer to you our competitive service at that area with our methodology and examples next.
IP DEVELOPMENT
____________________
Companies and especially within the high-tech industry utilize TRIZ in the indicated directions with the objectives including license cost reduction by avoiding competitor’s patents and development new own patents (“umbrella patenting”). Also a target of that is development of future brand new core technologies. Our service on the base of own experience in that area is considered further in detail.
TRAINING
___________________
Proposed next corporate training and personal coaching programs were successfully implemented in different companies. These programs provide a dual benefit to the management. First, a sufficient number of employees are trained in the innovative domain with TRIZ methodology and second, multiple internal problems will have been resolved during this training period.
