Identifying and appropriately resolving system tradeoffs or effectively evaluating alternatives is a key deliverable of systems engineering. Without proper resolution, system performance is hindered, or suboptimal technologies are chosen. TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, offers tools and methods to identify and resolve tradeoffs (which it terms contradictions or conflicts). TRIZ recognizes that fundamental performance limits arise when one or more unresolved tradeoffs exist in a system. According to TRIZ, eliminating or reducing the effects of the conflicts is necessary to move to improved system performance. This paper presents a TRIZ Trade Study framework that is useful to identify system conflicts, both across alternatives and within a technology, and at various levels of requirements decomposition, to compare options and optimize how the system performs. The framework was developed to perform a trade study between alternative pharmaceutical production systems, and merges traditional trade study methodologies with classical TRIZ. Specifically, traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing development and manufacturing were traded against an emerging and proposed approach, QbD (Quality by Design). Given TRIZ is scalable and useful to a variety of systems, the application of the TRIZ Trade Study Framework is also broadly applicable across system scale and domains. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, we present a method incorporating axiomatic design, TRIZ, and mixed integer programming (MIP) to solve engineering design problems. Axiomatic design decomposes the problem into several mutually independent sub-problems, TRIZ generates all feasible design concepts, and MIP optimizes cost and the numerical configuration among available design options. The method is illustrated on a locomotive ballast arrangement case study. Ballast arrangement is a key process for a locomotive assembly, which determines the carrying capacity. Due to the unsophisticated technology requirements, the ballast arrangement process has received little attention. The trend of mass customization, however, demands locomotive manufacturers to provide diverse products with affordable cost and reduced time. Thus, a flexible and easy to implement ballast arrangement process design is sought. The proposed method determines what material combinations, in what quantity, and where in the limited cavities should the ballast be allocated to minimize cost. Using the case study, we demonstrate the advantages in cost reduction and time savings. The synergy of these improvements not only can enhance productivity and agility but also competitive advantage.
