“…The preliminary innovative solutions are determined by the integration of all of the technical units. The invention problems of the integration process can be solved using TRIZ tools and methods [84][85][86][87], such as 40 invention principles, separation principles, and 76 standard solutions. Finally, the EKB is updated and expanded by adding innovative solutions.…”

As most of the knowledge used in industrial product design is based on data files from a previous design, it is difficult to be efficiently applied in supporting product innovation design. This paper proposes a method to construct an enterprise knowledge base (EKB) for product innovation design. A concept of the functional basis of product (FBP) is first proposed based on similar products. The function units and corresponding technical units are clustered to construct an EKB for product innovation design. A retrieval path of the knowledge is then proposed from the functional level. The prototype software is developed to retrieve the knowledge directly through function units and determine the optimal technology by searching and ranking relevant patents. The patent circumvention and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methods are used to solve invention problems and obtain innovative solutions. The built EKB model provides a systematic method for the innovative product design process. An underwater separator is developed in a case study to verify the proposed method.

“…The study explored practical alternatives for SMEs to develop various value-added products that meet customers' changing requirements and succeed in competitive markets to achieve a sustainable business operation. Ramírez-Rios et al [33] conducted TRIZ in the plantar orthosis field that designed a support device for the foot. Yang and Tsai [34] mingled TRIZ, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), and Internet of Things (IoT) to explore research and application of energy management in industry 4.0 with a case study is the semiconductor manufacturing of Taiwan.…”

The current COVID-19 pandemic, which is alarming for another global economic recession, puts the sustainable development of the tourism system under high consideration. The tourism industry is a key generator of foreign exchange across the region. However, tourism is one of the sectors most affected by the global pandemic. Through a case study in Taiwan, the objective of this study is to show how an Evergreen hotel fixed itself on existing and recovering in the hospitality business during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 using the combination of the problem hierarchy analysis (PHA) and the Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskih Zadatch (TRIZ) or the so-called theory of inventive problem-solving technique. Following PHA technique and extensive investigation, the management team determined that the most recent problems at the Evergreen hotel are in marketing and human resources. The 39 parameters and 40 principles of TRIZ were used to determine the improvement solution and create a solution strategy that simultaneously simplified critical control-point (CCP) processes and improved the correctness of tasks, increasing CCP efficiency and supporting and satisfying customer demands in the COVID-19 pandemic in the world in general and in Taiwan in particular. The results revealed that customer bookings grew over the four quarters of 2020 due to adjusting the cancellation policy, discounting, and segmenting the market from international to domestic, increasing the CCP efficiency percentage and customer rating score from 19% to 40% and 8.3 to 8.5 score, respectively. Aside from that, changing the hotel structure with a partnership with the Taixie company assisted Evergreen in reducing various cost pressures to manage the business and recover after a difficult period. This paper can be a useful reference for managers, investors, governments, and policymakers to improve the sustainability performance in the tourism industry.

“…There are other industrial sectors that have not been included because they do not have a large presence in the market but are in development in the academic field. This is the case in the automobile sector [32,37] and the medical sector [38,39], which use modular design in order to adapt the product to the end user. Framework that considers three key characteristics of mass customization: user experience, co-creation and product change (modular design).…”

Modular design is the design based on independent and connectable modules to achieve product variety. It is an ideal tool that could facilitate the inclusion of prosumers in the creative process. However, its evolution has focused on product development and not on end users. The creation of a new modular design model for prosumers could respond to their needs while exploiting the advantages of modularity. The present work analyzes the applicability of modular design in the prosumer scope and defines a guideline for the creation of the new model. To this end, prosumer and modular design methods are collected and analyzed throughout the previously defined design process. The intersection between both terms is analyzed through a series of real cases and design methods that show what the objectives of prosumers are and if the present products and methods meet their needs. These results will establish the current and potential link between modular design and prosumers. Finally, the objectives and stages to develop the design model based on previous results are presented. The paper presents relevant findings such as the lack of methods in the conceptual design phases and a guideline to ensure that the prosumer benefits from modular design.
