“…This step is to organize the brainstorm among the Knowledge sources, during which innovation ideas (not specific design solutions) are generated. Here, TRIZ (which is a systematic innovation tool that use generic TRIZ solutions to provide possible directions for problem solving 24 ) is used to guide the brainstorm. After reading the design task description on the Task panel , R&D staffs can submit TRIZ solutions that they believe useful for the task to Control module-1 , and Control module-1 would add these TRIZ solutions to the Innovation idea panel .…”

Socialized product design (SPD) mode, enabled by advanced internet technologies and sharing economic trends, has the capability of utilizing the design resources from large numbers of socialized designers (SDs) to carry out the design tasks that used to be participated by only the internal R&D staffs of companies. During SPD projects, different kinds of mechanisms can be applied to organize the SDs. Some of them tend to be centralized control (e.g. crowdsourcing design) and some are more of distributed autonomy (e.g. opensourcing design). Both centralized control and distributed autonomy have their strengths and limitations for SPD. Centralized control enables more organized, focused, and efficient project execution, but it limits the emergence of collective intelligence among the SDs. Distributed autonomy helps to explore the innovation potential of SDs by granting them the freedom of communication and mutual inspiration, but it may cause the problem of unreliable and unpredictable design process. To complement the advantages of centralized control and distributed autonomy in SPD, an integrated model of Blackboard and Bayesian network is established in this paper. The Blackboard, whose Control modules are specially customized for human Knowledge sources, is for guaranteeing overall control of the distributed design process and at the same time permitting certain level of autonomy to the SDs. The Bayesian network, built with an improved Bayesian causal map method, is an embedded Control module of the Blackboard which evaluates design solutions according to the incomplete collective judgments from SDs. The operability of the integrated model has been verified through a case study of 3D printer conceptual design project.

Paper reviewing the use of TRIZ tools and methods in combination with other tools for better manufacturing and production processes improvement. A weakness of the current state of process improvement is mainly solving problems by trivial tools as Brainstorming, which leads to not ideal resolutions to problems in the process. This could be improved by the use of TRIZ. A literature review was used for examination of the current state and history of the use of TRIZ principles in a field of production processes. The review is chronologically structured and focuses on attempts to use TRIZ itself or in combination with other tools with a goal improvement of processes or activities related to the process. The research begins before the year 2000 and it ends by the year 2019. The use of TRIZ for process improvement was described by many authors, and many approaches were tried. From the results, it is seen that TRIZ methods should be beneficial for use in practice. Unfortunately, found solutions are either too complex or without specific descriptions. That could be a cause of why the implementation of TRIZ tools is not spread. Results of review lead to a need for a new, more user-friendly approach based on TRIZ principles for use by engineers in real practice.

“…TRIZ is such a structured method for analogical design that abstracts problem into some contradictions 15 and then develops solutions using the 40 inventive principles as conceptual analogies. 16 Inspiration from instance knowledge/analogies is also quite important in transforming the schematization solutions in TRIZ into specific solutions. Therefore, by means of textual analysis, Souili and Cavallucci 30 and Souili et al 31 proposed a linguistic method to automatically extract engineering parameters and corresponding contradictions from patents, so as to identify relevant instance analogies for TRIZ.…”

“…As a problem-solving principle or procedure extracted from design cases, expert schema can either be used to arouse innovation by solving design problems or contradictions, or work as the descriptive medium to associate more other cases to be used for analogy search. Abstracted from a great number of patents, the inventive principles in TRIZ (the Russian acronym for theory of inventive problem solving) are the typical expert schemas which could not only solve innovative design problems 15,16 but also associate instance analogies. 17,18 3.…”

By the knowledge transferring in different areas, analogical design has been considered as a powerful approach to promote the generation of novel ideas in product conceptual design. An efficient representation scheme for design knowledge is vital to implement analogical transferring. In this article, inspired from the structure mapping mechanism of analogical reasoning, a structure mapping–based representation was proposed to support designers to search and use design analogies. This representation can provide designers with insights into the structural information of knowledge situations, and consequently designers are able to implement the corresponding design analogy search at the level of the structural similarity, rather than the functional or superficial similarity. Based on this new representation scheme, a structure mapping–based analogical design framework was developed. In this framework, patents are used as the source of analogical knowledge, and the relational structure–based representation for the patent knowledge is created using the advanced natural language processing tools/algorithms. Next, the search of design analogies is implemented by means of the vector space model, and a new structure mapping–based concept generation model can finally guide the designers to use design analogies. An industrial case and a compared experiment were carried out to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework.
