This is the most complete and advanced textbook of TRIZ methods developed in a user-friendly way by Zinovy Royzen, the founder and President of TRIZ Consulting, Inc, the first US TRIZ company and a leading TRIZ Master, certified by Genrich Altshuller, 1926-1998, the creator of TRIZ.

The textbook provides step-by step guidelines for analysis of the situation and problem formulation, Tool-Object-Product (TOP) function modeling, and classifying problems into six classes. It provides step-by step guidelines, checklists and algorithms for solving conflicts or contradictions including the most user friendly version of ARIZ, for harmful action elimination, for building a new sufficient function, for solving measurement problems, for revealing the causes of a failure (TRIZ root cause analysis) and for technological forecast using trends of evolution of technical systems. The textbook includes many examples and case studies form different industries with detailed solutions. It includes Royzen’s TRIZ development based on his experience in using TRIZ since 1980 and teaching and development of TRIZ since 1984.

This textbook not only will help you to learn contemporary TRIZ methods but also could be your reliable handbook for problem solving in innovation. The textbook is used in TRIZ courses conducted by Zinovy Royzen for hundreds of engineers, engineering managers and scientists at Boeing, Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Eastman Kodak, Alcoa CSI, Plug Power, Samsung, NASA and many other organizations. This textbook is used in UCLA Extension 4 CEU TRIZ courses Zinovy Royzen has been teaching since 1997.

Zinovy Royzen is a MS in mechanical engineering, the author of many TRIZ papers and holds 28 patents.

Customer Reviews:

"I recently purchased Designing and Manufacturing Better Products Faster Using TRIZ. I have found the book to be very useful and really like the power of using Tool-Object-Product modeling along with the standard techniques. I believe I've built a solid knowledge of how to define a system's functions and then apply classical TRIZ tools. What I've liked about the TOP-TRIZ methodology as described in this book is that I feel that it will allow me to use the foundation of TRIZ that I've built and now apply it in a more practical and efficient way. I have especially appreciated the improvements on Su-F analysis and the 76 standard solutions provided by the use of the flow chart, TOP modeling and the Standard Techniques. I find the flow chart that is printed on each of the divider tab pages at the beginning of each section to be very useful in understanding the systematic flow of the technique."

"Zinovy Royzen is an expert master of TRIZ and instructor of thousands of TRIZ practitioners. This fieldbook will enable anyone who has studied TRIZ to use the full problem solving power of the method without requiring expensive software packages or other aids. His flow chart is masterful in helping to pick the right tool set for your situation. The book is especially powerful for Zinovy's simplification of ARIZ-85, its all there, but it just seems to flow better with Zinovy's approach. The same can be said for his innovative TOP analysis, which supplants the difficult Su-Field analysis.
If you are an engineer who has taken a TRIZ class, but needs a guide for actually applying TRIZ, this book is for you. If you have not studied TRIZ, what are you waiting for? Your competitors are out-innovating you!"

"I'm absolutely impressed ! The structure of the Standard Techniques is excellent and very clear and logical. I like a lot all the micro-algorithms and excellent worksheets which make the book very "hands-on". Also the many examples and exercises are very good. I wish I discovered this book 5 years earlier."
