Lean TRIZ is a new workshop-based process that brings together teams to focus on specific processes, evolutionary product designs, and improvement opportunities. It combines the insight of TRIZ with the simplicity of Value Engineering, EXPRESS, or FAST methodologies. TRIZ is the most advanced problem solving tool available. By combining TRIZ’s simplest concepts with those in the EXPRESS methodology (used by Ford and Ernst & Young), it is feasible to apply this new methodology to new concepts that are not traditionally applicable to the TRIZ methodology. This combination is guaranteed to greatly improve the quality and breakthrough results of a team that works on the problem within two days.

  • Offers a two-day problem analysis cycle including management approval
  • Revolutionary and proven approach to define a new product design
  • Satisfies two important performance improvement needs that every organization faces: 1. Process related improvement opportunities 2. Design related improvement opportunities
  • Develops many solutions so that optimum performance can be selected
  • Examples of cost reduced as much as $1 million for two-day effort
