Subject syllabus

1. Methodology TRIZ – Theory of inventive problem solving. Genesis and basic components and principles.
2. Functional-Cost analysis – FNA, analysis of the components and structure of an object, component hierarchical model, structural model of the technical system, component and structural analysis.
3. Analysis of functions and function parameters, model of functions of technical system, classification of the functions according criterion – significance, usefulness, degree of fulfillment in parameter.
4. Object improving by “trimming” its structure and/or functions, trimming requirements.
5. Object improving by “developing” its structure and/or functions, complementary functions and complementary costs of the technical system.
6. Algorithm of inventive problem solving – ARIZ
7. Technical system synthesis - TS, typal inventive tasks, solution methods of typal inventive tasks, technical contradiction, physical contradiction, administrative contradiction.
8. Technical contradiction solution – heuristic principles of solution.
9. Physical contradiction solution – separative process of solution.
10. Causal/resulting chains.
11. Model of conflict and model of its solution.
12. Technical functions and effects of natural sciences.
