ARIZ - Inventive Problem Solving Software (Strategy, Management, Creativity, Innovation); ARIZ (acronym of russian origin) - Algorithm of Inventive Problems Solving (ARIZ) is list of (about 85) step-by-step procedures that incrementally evolves a complex problem to a point where it is simple to solve. Complex problems cannot be solved in just two steps. For those problems which are so complex, that they cannot be solved with any other tools, TRIZ includes the algorithm to follow which will facilitate the problem-solving process. ARIZ is not an equation, but rather a multi-step process asking you a series of questions that integrates different pieces of TRIZ. ARIZ is a very "solution neutral" process: i.e., it takes preconceived solutions out of the problem statement. It starts you at a position that assumes the nature of your problem is unknown. ARIZ reacquaints you with your problem by allowing you to see your problem with a fresh pair of eyes. ARIZ features: is a process of problem reformulations is logical and disciplined continually reinterprets the problem is the main TRIZ method for solving conflicts ARIZ utilizes: Ideality for an understanding of the Ideal Final Result (IFR) (or Ideal Solution) to the problem Contradictions, by working first with the technical contradiction, then the physical contradiction Resources of the system Scientific effects S-field modeling and Standard Solutions the 40 Principles It is important to note that ARIZ is more than 50% problem reformulation! It is only through this guided reformulation that complex problems can be solved.
