Abstract:

In the past years we had many training classes of TRIZ for the engineers from industries. Many research projects, which are selected from the industries, have been carried out for the engineers. The interactive training processes show that there are many areas to be studied in order to assist engineers to identify innovative opportunities better. This study will introduce a few of them, such as disruptive and radical innovative processes, patent around design, platform evolution, extended AFD, innovative method for manufacturing process etc. The study will show some research results in this center.
