A Method to Formulate Problem in Initial Analysis of Inventive Design

Abstract

Initial Analysis is one of the most important phases of Inventive Design, where designers apply the existing methods to formulate a problem. One of these methods is problem graph, which is a powerful tool to translate the knowledge, collected from available documents and data, into a graphical model. However, this graph, by considering today’s competitive world, does not have the agility to present the essential information for applying in the next phase of Inventive Design. The aim of this article is to introduce a new method, which makes a designer able to formulate an appropriate problem, according to the objectives, without wasting time. This method, along with TRIZ, could create an agile design process. An example is done to illustrate better the process.
