Abstract :
With increasing competition in the market, 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. This paper reviews practical applications of TRIZ and AD in solving industrial problems related to designing and manufacturing. We propose that application of these two techniques synergistically to solve a problem will increase the efficiency and quality of the problem solving process. This has been demonstrated using a real life case-study of manufacturing tool design
