Integrating the Generalized Table of Parameters and contextual database in an inventive design method to extract problems to be solved

Abstract

Numerous TRIZ-based methods to extract the core problems to be solved within the inventive problem-solving process are released. Nevertheless, one acknowledged limitation of these methods is how to select the most important problem, "contradiction," to be solved. One of the interesting developed tools to model the system parameters is the Generalized Table of Parameters (GTP). However, the GPT has not yet been integrated as an essential tool within TRIZ-based methods. In this article, we aim to develop a method to integrate the GTP in the inventive design process to extract the most important contradictions to be solved. To illustrate the presented method, the authors would apply the method to extract the prioritized problem to be solved of a mechanical shock absorber based on lattice structure within a particular mechanical field context.
