5 3. Approach for saving time of scientific methods (TRIZ Symposium 2011) ◆ Saving time in learning process ⇒ 90min Basic Training （ QFD,TRIZ,TM) ◆ Optimal selection of process for the target ⇒ Using various types of methods according to the problem. ◆ Reduced loss in the methods ⇒ Improving the efficiency of setting theme and root cause analysis in TRIZ. ◆ Improved efficiency by combination of methods ⇒ QFD specialized for setting theme before TRIZ . Effective TRIZ before TM 5 2012/8/4 No data copy / No data transfer permitted

Solution to the problem by scientific methods ( 1 ) Providing a solution, depending on the purpose and period of the theme theme Providing a solution, depending on the purpose and period of the 2012 ～ 2011 2010 Solution for Fuzzy Frontend QFD QFD TM QFD TM QFD Short time Setting Theme Short time Functionality Limited purpose assessment Fast Cause Analysis Problem setting type Long time Parameter design Long time Original QFD TRIZ Strong Patent TRIZ TRIZ TRIZ Short time Only Creation of Idea Cost Down One loop TRIZ ※ One method to use in some cases ・・・・・ TM Long time Some loops or PAT TRIZ TM ・・・・・・ Typical Use of Using various types of methods according to the problem Methods Providing optimal solutions 90min Basic Training+ Applied to the theme to the problem 6 6 2012/8/4 2012/8/4 No data copy / No data transfer permitted No data copy / No data transfer permitted

7 4. Solution to the problem by scientific methods ( 2 ) Customizing the method based on the voice of engineers Customizing the method based on the voice of engineers ． Solution by the process of → TRIZ → TM 1 ． QFD → TRIZ → Step1 Solution by the process of “ “ QFD TM ” ” Step ・ ”QFD → TRIZ → TM” process does not always match to the start of the theme ・ Believer of the method says that this method can solve all of the problems. But, we can not solve them by one method. ・ We want to check the effect by the first trial of method. ． Customizing 2 ． Step 2 Customizing QFD,TRIZ QFD,TRIZ and and TM TM by the purpose by the purpose Step ・ Engineers would like to know what is valid method in each scene of development. ・ My purpose is increasing the development efficiency ,not using the method. Please show me the solution and effect to the problem. ・ Managers and engineers have the experience of failure by QFD, TRIZ and TM in the past, have a allergy to the method. ・ Why is the only solution QFD, TRIZ and TM ? I think to use plenty of other methods. Visualizing the development process by functional chain. And providing Solutions to the target of problem by various methods. 7 2012/8/4 No data copy / No data transfer permitted

Visualization of the Fuzzy Front End process ( 1 ) Fusion process of customer value in the Fuzzy Front End process in the Fuzzy Front End process Fusion process of customer value It is important to visualize the function of creating the customer value by combination Technical Seeds of technology to Needs from QFD. Needs and Seeds are fused and embodied each other under the influence. The process is different by products or systems.
