A framework for OTSM TRIZ-based computer support to be used in complex problem management

A knowledge-based algorithm for supply chain conflict detection based on OTSM-TRIZ problem flow network approach

“…As stated previously, OTSM (General theory of powerful thinking) is one of the developed versions of TRIZ that was presented by Khomenko et al [24]. Within the framework of OTSM-TRIZ, a complicated problem can be considered as a network of simple subproblems, which is known as a network of problem flows.…”

Integrated Computer-Aided Innovation: The PROSIT approach

“…In [9] a detailed excursus of TRIZ software evolution is reported with a specific attention to the original research of the first community in the former Soviet Union. Both the first attempts to build computerbased applications supporting a TRIZ problem solving process and the most recent software products comprising TRIZ-based modules still require the users to be familiar with Classical TRIZ at each stage of formulation and modelling of the problem to be solved, as well as for interpreting the resulting models of solution.…”

OTSM Network of Problems for representing and analysing problem situations with computer support

“…[22]. PFN approach is based on four kinds of networks: Network of Problems; Contradiction Network, Parameter Network (Specific) and Parameter Network [17].…”

“…Bottleneck nodes often indicate that at least one hidden contradiction exists in the problem of the bottleneck. Often it is a system of contradictions, which will be developped into a network of contradictions [17]. The point is that the solution of several problems of the project depends on the bottleneck problem.…”

“…When the cognitive gap between the description of the problem and the description of the solution is too large for the problem solver additional tools are required. TRIZ [3][4][5][6] and OTSM [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] [18,19] theories provide instruments which satisfy this need when the path from problem to solution involves changes in the model of the problem or system. This paper presents a method for increasing the level of formalization of the description of a problem situation and obtaining a "big picture" of the problem situation in order to be solved by TRIZ and OTSM instruments with or without computer support.…”
