Application of TRIZ inventive principles to innovate recycling machine
Abstract
This article mainly proposes a design process in which a combination of brainstorming and the theory of inventive problem-solving, better known as TRIZ, are used in the design process. We used illustrations by designing a recycling machine for Tetra Pak. Designers are guided to apply brainstorming to come up with innovative designs and features utilizing 39 engineering parameters, a contradiction matrix, and 40 inventive principles for solving design problems. Once copyright and patent laws have been adhered in order to ensure there are no infringements, a prototype may be constructed, and patents may be applied for.
