Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN.

Address: Mechanical Engineering Building 585 Purdue Mall West Lafayette, IN 47907-2088
Learning Objective: Familiarize students with methods that are easily accessible but rigorous for formulation and solution of hard (PSPACE or harder) design optimization problems to rapidly create products, services, systems or solutions to specific problems whose performance is insensitive to uncertainties in components and operating environment. It is built around a core of TRIZ ideas developed by Genrikh Altshuller, but integrates cutting edge discoveries and practice from a variety of sources: mathematical problem solving, optimization and decision theory, marketing, finance, and management research, and includes the following: Identifying the market and value proposition Rigorous and accessible formulation Solution via reducing the search space Eliminating tradeoffs to reduce dimension of optimization problems Execution through developing strategies for experiment, construction, and monetization.
