The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) has been widely recognized as a
powerful systematic innovation technique that can be applied to a wide arrange of
disciplines. This paper focuses on engineering design and illustrates how modeling
methods already familiar to engineering designers can be adapted for use in TRIZ.
Specifically, the'black-box'modeling technique, common in problem formulation and
clarification in engineering design, is modified for use in TRIZ. The new technique, referred …
