Abstract

With increasing global competition, expediting the problem solving process has become crucial in the industry. Techniques such as Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and Axiomatic Design (AD) have been widely applied for this purpose. TRIZ and AD are very powerful tools with different but complementary strengths. A previously proposed synergistic approach based on TRIZ and AD enhances the individual strengths of these methods by using them within a common framework, thus providing a more powerful methodology for problem solving. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the synergistic approach through a manufacturing related case-study. Considering the importance of validation of engineering models, a validation method for the synergistic approach is discussed based on review of design engineering validation literature.
