INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Unified Structured Inventive Thinking is a streamlined version of TRIZ. The first stage defines the problem by contrasting the current state with the ideal state. The second analyses the situation in terms of objects, attributes, and functions. The third applies heuristic techniques, such as changing an attribute's dimension or substituting a function, to generate solutions. It keeps the core ideas of TRIZ while shortening the process, which lowers the barrier to training and everyday application.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Use ideal-state framing: state the current state and the ideal state side by side. - Use object analysis: list the objects involved, their attributes, and the functions they perform. - Use heuristic application: apply a heuristic technique such as attribute change or function substitution.
Anchor fast decisions
USIT streamlines TRIZ into three stages. Defining contrasts the current state with the ideal, analysis breaks the situation into objects, attributes, and functions, and the solving stage applies heuristics such as attribute dimension change or function substitution. The core logic survives while the process becomes short enough for quick training.
