The origins of TRIZ and ARIZ arose from this first article and book! th This year is also the 90 anniversary of the birth of Genrikh Altshuller and his classmate and brother-in-arms, Raphael Shapiro, co-author of the first article. The great is seen from a distance! Really, the concept and ideas of TRIZ—Theory of Invention of Genrikh Altshuller—are the source of an absolutely peculiar way of creative design thinking, systematic creative knowledge, and skills for the further development of civilization. TRIZ finds more and more users and followers! Modern TRIZ carefuly maintains historical continuity with the fundamental ideas of TRIZ initiators, facilitates understanding, and develops the effective application of these ideas. Dear readers will see this succession in dozens of methodological parallels and applied examples in this book, ABC-TRIZ, and will read about Altshuller and Shapiro as well as other great persons. VII Zhao YANG (China), MSc: I am deeply convinced that Modern TRIZ should be intensively disseminated in China. Adehi GUEHIKA (Cote d`Ivoire, now in Canada): I think that e-education in Modern TRIZ could become my second or maybe first occupation. Oktay TABAK (Turkey): It is very interesting to model with MTRIZ any artifact and open the creative driver of its design. Khairul KAMARUDIN (Malaysia), PhD, MSc: Great MTRIZ e-courses! Interesting applications for green technologies are possible. Eduardo ROCHA (Mexico): This is invaluable MTRIZ-knowledge that I would like to bring not only in my engineering specialty, but also in every university and even in every school. Camila MARTINEZ, Business Intelligence Analist (Brazil): I would like to disseminate MTRIZ in Brazil. This is important for our companies and universities. Prerak CONTRACTOR (India): Modern TRIZ and e-courses on MTRIZ are absolutely irreplaceable for both engineers and managers! Sugeng WAHYUDI, MSc (Indonesia, now in Singapore): It is possible with MTRIZ to model historical development of systems as I realized it my Master thesis! Khaled SHOAIB (Egypt): Modern TRIZ is absolutely careful study for both initial training and applied design thinking! VIII El Gouna Center of Technical University Berlin, th Egypt, January 20 , 2016 Michael A. Orloff is a founder of the Academy of Instrumental Modern TRIZ (AIMTRIZ, Berlin, 2000), author of MTRIZ educational modeling with techniques "Extracting", "Reinventing" and "Meta-Algorithm of Invention T-R-I-Z". The Academy of Instrumental Modern TRIZ has the partners in 18 countries and continues to develop educational Modern TRIZ society around the world. His training and consulting are well known at many companies including SIEMENS (for postautomation and electrotransportation directions, Berlin, Germany), SAMSUNG Advanced Institute of Technology (for system development, Suwon, S. Korea), universities in China (till 1000 trainees in auditorium at 2-day trainings), Kazakhstan, Korea, Russia, etc. Till now about 500 innovative and inventive solutions (many of them are patented by customers) were made with the author’s consulting and problem solving (on the order of customer or together with Think Tank Teams) at more than 120 enterprises. He lectures MTRIZ at TU Berlin in partnership with Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (ILR) for European programs TEMPUS and ERASMUS MUNDUS and others, for international Master of Science programs "Global Production Engineering" and "Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management", and "Energy Engineering" (with attendees from faculties "Urban Engineering" and "Water Engineering") at Campus El Gouna, Egypt, as well as a part of some executive education programs at Center for Leadership Development Research (CLDR) of ESMT European School of Management and Technology (Berlin). From 2015 he is a staff professor for MTRIZ e-learning at Chair of pedagogy and methodology of natural science education of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). This textbook also includes the examples of pilot projects for teachers and students of high schools and universities in co-operation with MEPhI and UNESCO Institute of Informational Technologies in Education (IITE). This book is addressed, first and foremost, to teachers and students of technical universities, but certainly it can be successfully used by teachers and students of all professions without limitation, as well as by high school students and teachers. IX Standardized Modern TRIZ Meta-Algorithm of Invention Standardized Presentation and Accumulation of Expertise Standardized Mass-scale Training Standardized Individual and Collective Application About the Title of the Book The ABC series of books has always been respected. They open doorways to the mysteries of the world—and they do that by teaching people to read and thereby partake of the wisdom and experience and the thoughts and feelings of other people. They help people cultivate understanding and empathy. May this book become your creativity primer. May it help you discover modern TRIZ, which essentially is epitome of modern invention theory. TM About the Title of the EASyTRIZ Training System TM The title EASyTRIZ has two connotations: 1) it contains a reference to the adjective easy, and 2) it is based on a radiolocation abbreviation EASy, which stands for Early Acquisition System (target acquisition and locking-in as early as possible to develop an efficient reaction). With respect to training objectives, it is interpreted as Easy Acquisition System for TRIZ: To obtain the right learning and skills as early as possible for efficient problem solving. X "TRIZ" is an acronym from the Russian title for the book, "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving": Теория Решения Изобретательских Задач (ТРИЗ) ‒ Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatel‘skih Zadach (TRIZ) It behooves me to emphasize from the outset our inventive problem-solving methodology is not a recipe for making inventions. The methodology does not replace, or serve as a substitute for, technical knowledge. It can only help use that knowledge with maximum efficiency. Instead of randomly searching for answers with huge expenditure of energy and time, it offers a rational system. …Imagine a boxing match. The boxers need both "brawn and brain": strong muscles are important, but so are special fighting skills. The same is true for the "combat" between the inventor and a technical problem. Knowledge, experience, abilities – all these are the "brawn" of the inventor, while the methodology teaches him not to waste his strength on inefficient fist-swinging. Naturally, mastery of the methodology does not guarantee that the inventor will exceed Popov or Edison. Well, by the same token mastery of a college physics course does not guarantee that the student will, with time, exceed Newton or Einstein. To have great creative talent is not enough to create great inventions. Historical conditions have to be conducive, and many other things must occur at the same time to make that happen. The methodology does not negate the role that can be played by abilities. It assumes that, to varying degrees, each human being has certain talents. The methodology should be used primarily to resolve ordinary inventive problems – those that any inventor encounters on a daily basis. 1 The methodology helps develop [the] talents and put them to good use.
