Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members,
Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)
Hello, How are you, your family, and the people in your country?
-----------------------------------------------
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" this morning (dated Dec. 8):
https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/
[1] On the 24th Anniversary of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan": Toru Nakagawa (Nov. 12, 2022)
This Web site "TRIZ Home in Japan" celebrated its 24th Anniversary on Nov. 1.
It serves as an open forum of information exchange for better understanding and usage of Creative Problem Solving Methodologies.
I am very grateful to you all, including authors, co-authors, translators, and readers in Japan and around the world, for your continuing support.
The WTSP Project for Creating Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites in the World has been carried out for nearly 5 years.
As for the websites Around-TRIZ, I have just finished a WTSP World Catalog which contains 33 ◎, 142 ○, and 244 □ websites
with surveyor introductions in a well-balanced manner.
On the other hand, the WTSP Catalog of TRIZ websites is still insufficient and unbalanced, due to the lack of collaborative
work in several countries leading TRIZ.
We need much more effort for making the WTSP Catalogs useful and attractive.
Ref. WTSP Report (5) Catalogs of TRIZ and Around-TRIZ Sites in the World, ETRIA TFC2022 Sept. 29, 2022
I noticed that the TRIZ community is weak because of missing
a representative website (or journal) even though there exist
a few international conferences and many consulting firms and
academic groups working actively.
I and five WTSP Global Co-editors have proposed to establish
a new website (tentatively named "Systematic Innovation Review")
by international and interdisciplinary cooperation in the TRIZ
community.
The new website should accept various/different approaches
in TRIZ (and later, more widely, Creative Problem-Solving
Methodologies in general), and publicize various aspects of
articles (such as philosophy, methodologies, applications,
introductions, educational texts, activities, etc.).
In place of unpublished original papers, we should put weights
on overviews and reviews on emerging/established works, to
represent and lead TRIZ and related methodologies in the world.
I am going to work to extend and promote further the Six-Box
Scheme as the basic paradigm for Creative Problem-Solving
Methodologies in general, and USIT as a concise and effective
process for performing the Six-Box Scheme.
I will also develop this "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" further
as a prototype of the "SI Review".
I wish this Home Page is useful for you readers to solve your
various problems.
Your contributions either in English or in Japanese are
heartily welcome.
[2] Altshuller and History of TRIZ (Tomasz Arciszewski)
Japanese translation (Toru Nakagawa) (Dec, 8, 2022)
(1) The main body of this page is contributed by the Author
(Prof. Tomasz Arciszewski) and permitted by the Publisher
(Talylor & Francis Group) to reproduce and post on this
website in English and in Japanese translation.
[From "Inventive Engineering: Knowledge and Skills for
Creative Engineers", by Tomasz Arciszewski,
Sections 9.1 - 9.2 (pp. 285-294), CRC Press (2016)]
It is compact and comprehensive introductions to Altshuller
(Section 9.1) and the (early) History of TRIZ (Section 9.2),
which intermingle with each other.
We may understand that the former describes the facts and
background of Altshuller's life, while the latter the
emergence and development of the concepts in TRIZ through
his life stages.
The atmosphere and influences of Soviet society on his life
are well described.
The novelty/creativity of Altshuller's work in finding
various essence (like principles/patterns/laws) from a huge
body of technological information is evaluated as pioneering
work of inductive knowledge acquisition (or Machine Learning
in our present terminology).
This article in English is valuable for us to learn about
Altshuller's life and work.
(2) (Selected) communications with the Author and myself record
how this posting became possible.
(3) The Author has written down a new article: "New Introduction
to "Inventive Engineering": Six Years Later".
He emphasizes the 5-part structure of the Book: Motivation,
Background Knowledge, Terminology, General Designing Process,
and then five Individual Methodics (including TRIZ).
Let's make the World WTSP Catalogs Useful and Attractive !!!
Best wishes.
Toru
