Case Study : ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY + BRAKE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTS – TESE BASED APPROACH

By : MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA

Abstract :

The objective of this paper is to understand the technology evolution of major automated safety systems in vehicles using TRIZ based S-curve methodology. Automated safety systems in vehicles either prevents accidents or protects the occupants during crash. Generally, automated safety system in vehicles is categorized into active and passive safety systems. Passive safety systems including airbags and seatbelts protect the passengers during accidents while active safety systems including lane keeping assistance system aids the drivers in avoiding accidents. TRIZ based S-Curve is developed based on patent trend analysis in order to determine the current evolution stage of the major automated safety systems such as airbag, lane keeping assistance system, and seat belts. The results of the analysis may be used to improve or develop the automated safety systems using TRIZ tools.

Case Study : ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION + STEERING SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTS – TESE BASED APPROACH

By : MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA

Abstract :

The evolution of automotive suspension systems has been a critical factor in development of vehicle performance, safety, and comfort. This paper aims to study the evolution trends of automotive suspension systems using TRIZ-based Trends in Engineering System Evolution (TESE) methodology, wherein the trend of completeness, trend of energy consumption, trend of coordination, trend of increasing ideality, trend of uneven development, trend of transition to supersystem, trend of transition from macro to micro level, and trend of increasing su-fieldness, are studied for the automotive suspension systems’ evolution. The road handling of automotive suspension system is considered as the Main Parameter of Value (MPV) since it directly affects vehicle performance and customer experience. The paper correlates technical advancements with patent trend and market adoption, identifying that the automotive suspension industry is currently in the second stage of its evolutionary S-curve. Indicators typical of this stage are discussed, and TRIZ-based recommendations for further growth and innovation are provided.

Case Study : ARIZ for Candle Wick Problem

By : Team from Turkey

Abstract :

In this study, the candle production line is examined. Candle production process consists of 11 operations that are simply described as clamp positioning, wick attachment and paraffin filling operations. Project goal of this process is defined as increasing productivity of candle production. Thereby, initial disadvantage is defined by inverting project goal. After obtaining the project goal and initial disadvantage, function analysis for processes is applied to identify function disadvantages. Moreover, CECA is applied to identify key disadvantages. Furthermore, trimming is applied to reduce the number of operations to increase productivity without any performance and quality loss. As a consequence of trimming problems are identified.
In this manuscript, clamp holds wick but it also damages wick problem is solved by applying ARIZ. Wick is basically paraffin coated rope and it loses its strength since clamp removes paraffin over the rope when squeezing in order to hold it. All ARIZ algorithm is followed and particularly physical contradiction problem model and separation in space are utilized to obtain the best and applicable solution.
The aforementioned problem is solved by applying ARIZ. On the other hand, secondary problem has emerged to be solved. Solution of secondary problem is obtained when trimming problems are solved and presented in another manuscript.

Case Study : TRIZ Approach for Cande Production Process

By : Team from Turkey

Abstract :

In this study, the candle production line is examined in order to increase productivity. Candle production process consists of 11 operations that are simply described as clamp positioning, wick attachment and paraffin filling operations. Wick attachment problem was solved by using ARIZ in another study. Thereby, paraffin filling operations are analyzed by applying function analysis for processes. Subsequently, function disadvantages are identified. Function analysis revealed there are plenty of providing and corrective functions in the whole process beside harmful functions. Therefore, trimming is applied in order to trim operations for increasing productivity. In particular, “How candle filling machine can hold wick when filling paraffin and cool paraffin at accordingly” trimming problem is handled. As a result of this study, secondary problem of wick attachment solution with ARIZ is solved when trimming operations other than that applies productive functions. Consequently, innovative candle production process is obtained.

Case Study : Reimagining Systems: Intersection of TRIZ with Critical Thinking and Sustainability

By : Siemens India

Abstract :

TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is becoming an essential tool for driving innovation across Siemens’ hardware solutions. By systematically addressing design contradictions, TRIZ has enabled teams to unlock creative and efficient solutions in projects where traditional approaches have encountered significant challenges.

The current  talk will focus on a case study which uses TRIZ as a foundational framework to screen ideas.  The talk will also equally emphasize the important intersection of critical thinking principles along with sustainability mindset to build robust systems.

This strategic effort  is a step in the important direction to build a transformative growth mindset and aiding organizations in developing resilient systems.

Case Study : “Enhancing Product Life Cycle of an Automotive Diesel Engine A TRIZ Approach”

By : MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA

Abstract :

The main objective of this study is to find an optimum solution to hashtag#enhance hashtag#life of an hashtag#automotive hashtag#diesel hashtag#engine which had faced challenges of extinction due to the system technology upgrades happened on Fuel Injection System. Aligning to their Global Strategy, FIE Supplier have informed current fuel injection pump will be discontinued which will cause complete stoppage of Engine Production. This had become a big threat for continuation of the business in the markets where we have a good positioning of our product today. It has become a mandate to find an innovative solution to enable the existence of the product as well as achieving customer satisfactory index by improving Performance, Cost and Serviceability.

TRIZ approach have helped in optimum design selection of FIE System out of the available options. The chosen technical option was further studied in a detailed manner to identify the improving and worsening parameters and, with the help of a Contradiction Matrix and 40 principles which is the main core idea of TRIZ, physical contradictions were resolved. With identification and categorization of the system components of the main engineering system into subsystems and supersystems, it has helped in formulating the effect of action of these systems on the final product. TRIZ tools have enabled to have a significant effectiveness in the selection process of the technology and shortlisting things which was taken up for production.
