Simplified TRIZ: New Problem Solving Applications for Engineers and Manufacturing Professionals

Rantanen K., Domb E.0-8493-2624-9

Completely revised, this second edition of a bestseller continues to demystify TRIZ and demonstrate how it can be used in new ways to enhance Six Sigma, CM, SCM, QFD, and Taguchi methods. Called “a practical guide to the application of TRIZ” and “compact and well written with a number of easily comprehensible examples” by TQM Magazine, this practical, how-to guide demonstrates how to solve problems creatively and foresee the evolution of problems in the future. The second edition clarifies how the patterns of evolution allow not only “what-if” scenarios, but real forecasts with significant accuracy. It includes evidence on the validity of patterns as statistical but nevertheless true scientific laws.
