if you plan to attend.
The Statistics & Reliability Discussion Group cordially invites you to
attend an outstanding FREE presentation:
TOPIC: Problem Solving TRIZ, HU, and the Beyond
SPEAKER: Dr. John J. Flaig, Ph.D., FASQ
Chair and Moderator: Dr. John Flaig
Assistant Chair: Dr. Don Mintz
Corporate Sponsor: Applied Materials
Sponsor: Mr. Ravi Chandra from Applied Materials
ABSTRACT:
Previously Dr. Flaig gave a very popular talk on Systematic Problem Solving. That presentation covered the commonly used methods for solving problems in rich and data sparse environments. The talk also covered some of the problems with popular tools such as brainstorming, the five why's, cause and effect diagrams, and clever modern tools such as TRIZ.
In this talk John will give a short background on TRIZ and then an extension of TRIZ to a multivariate visual diagramming tool called HU, which is the acronym for Harmful Useful. We will formalize the definition of HU and then show how many formal subjective problem solving systems such as FMEA are really subsets of HU.
Finally, John will propose ways to move from a subject HU approach to an analytic one thus increasing the power of this excellent problem solving methodology.
