TRIZ for engineers
TRIZ is a brilliant toolkit for nurturing engineering creativity and innovation. This accessible, colourful and practical guide has been developed from problem-solving workshops run by Oxford Creativity, one of the world's top TRIZ training organizations started by Gadd in 1998. Gadd has successfully introduced TRIZ to many major organisations such as Airbus, Sellafield Sites, Saint-Gobain, DCA, Doosan Babcock, Kraft, Qinetiq, Trelleborg, Rolls Royce and BAE Systems, working on diverse major projects including next generation submarines, chocolate packaging, nuclear clean-up, sustainability and cost reduction. Engineering companies are increasingly recognising and acting upon the need to encourage successful, practical and systematic innovation at every stage of the engineering process including product development and design. TRIZ enables greater clarity of thought and taps into the creativity innate in all of us, transforming random, ineffective brainstorming into targeted, audited, creative sessions focussed on the problem at hand and unlocking the engineers' knowledge and genius to identify all the relevant solutions. For good design engineers and technical directors across all industries, as well as students of engineering, entrepreneurship and innovation, TRIZ for Engineers will help unlock and realise the potential of TRIZ. The individual tools are straightforward, the problem-solving process is systematic and repeatable, and the results will speak for themselves. This highly innovative book: Satisfies the need for concise, clearly presented information together with practical advice on TRIZ and problem solving algorithms Employs explanatory techniques, processes and examples that have been used to train thousands of engineers to use TRIZ successfully Contains real, relevant and recent case studies from major blue chip companies Is illustrated throughout with specially commissioned full-colour cartoons that illustrate the various concepts and techniques and bring the theory to life Turns good engineers into great engineers.

The scientific method : a guide to finding useful knowledge
\"I found this book to be a particularly engaging and useful treatment of scientific method and practice whereby the authors' target is to improve practice. There is a lot of subversion out there that they want to avoid with a content-positive approach. The book's themes for improving scientific practice are generated from earthy checklists, all concerned to improve compliance with the substantive content of science. It results in checklists for eleven user categories, from researchers to courts. The checklists all derive from key elements of the scientific method, summarized by eight criteria. I want to apply seven of these elements to my early work in experimental economics that will help me to see how this book can help you, which is its purpose\"-- Provided by publisher.

Scenario visualization : an evolutionary account of creative problem solving
In order to solve problems, humans are able to synthesize apparantly unrelated concepts, take advantage of serendipitous opportunities, hypothesize, invent, and other abstract and creative activities, primarily through the use of their visual systems. This work looks at how such abilities evolved.

Quality Management Tools
To support, develop and advance a process of continuous improvement it is necessary for an organization to use a selection of tools and techniques. This chapter provides an overview of the tools likely to be used in an organization's improvement process. It is recommended that the more simple tools and techniques, such as the seven quality control tools, are used in the beginning. The use of tools and techniques should be employed within a problem‐solving approach for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. The ways in which the tool or technique is applied and how its results are interpreted are critical to its successful use. Probably the best‐known problem‐solving cycle is PDCA (‘plan, do, check, act’). Management teams that are ‘technique reactive’ tend to be unclear on the concept of total quality management (TQM) and strategic process improvement. The CEO and senior managers have a key role to play in the effective use of tools and techniques.

Selection of problem solving techniques and their popularity among internet users
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relative popularity of Lean Six Sigma among the internet users comparing it to other problem solving methodologies.
Design/methodology/approach
– The comparisons between the Lean Six Sigma and other problem solving methodologies among the internet users were assessed by using open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools, such as Google Keyword tools provided by Google, it is possible to assess the problem solving techniques popularity used by the internet users with a confidence of 80 percent.
Findings
– It is found that the popularity of Lean Six Sigma among the internet users far exceeds that of other methodologies.
Research limitations/implications
– The paper is limited as it is written from the view of the author, based the conclusions on OSINT tools. Further research could be beneficial.
Originality/value
– This study is based on Google Keyword tools provided by Google as an OSINT tools as effective source of information.
