TRIZ PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATION Click HERE for a copy of this information in PDF format. Recommendations for passing the test Applicants should have a sufficient command of science and mathematics Applicants should have good theoretical knowledge of all Examination Topics listed below. Having practical application of TRIZ methods will be advantageous.
Candidate should provide the following documents with the application: Copies of any documents showing attendance at TRIZ training Copies of any TRIZ related papers or projects Any letters of recommendation
Examination Topics I. ANALYTICAL TRIZ TOOLS Function Analysis Definition of function Function types: main, auxiliary Useful, harmful, adequate, inadequate (insufficient, excessive) functions Concept of ideality Ideal engineering system
Trimming II. PROBLEM MODELING AND PROBLEM SOLVING 1. Modeling problems as engineering contradictions (technical contradictions, system conflicts) Definition of an engineering contradiction Typical engineering contradictions 39 typical parameters Altshuller’s (Contradiction) Matrix 40 Inventive Principles
2. Modeling problems as physical contradictions 3. Modeling problems as substance-field (S-F) models Concept of a S-F model Types of S-F models:
– Incomplete
– Complete
– Chain
– Double
– Complex S-F analysis and the System of Standard Inventive Solutions 5 classes of the System of Standard Inventive Solutions
4. Function modeling of problems 5. ARIZ (ARIZ-85-C and later versions). III. LAWS OF ENGINEERING SYSTEM EVOLUTION Law of Increasing Ideality Law of Non-Uniform System Development Law of Transition to Supersystems Law of Increasing Dynamization Law of Transition to Microlevels Law of System Completeness Law of Increasing Coordination (Harmonization) Law of Shortening of Flow Paths Law of S-curve Evolution
Test Structure and Grading Open-book. A test contains 10 problems divided into 5 groups:
– Function analysis
– Resolving conflicts/contradictions
– Sufield analysis
– ARIZ
– Laws/lines of evolution.
If a candidate demonstrates a faultless TRIZ analysis (i.e., correctly applied TRIZ concepts, rules, and algorithms), but could not come up with a specific concept of solution for that problem, his/her work is graded 90%.
Passing final grade – 75%. All tests will be graded by 5 members of the TRIZ Certification Board. All grades will then be averaged to obtain the final grade.
Test Administration Four times a year, at a designated location and dates as published on the AI website. Administered by a member of or by a person assigned by the Certification Board. Duration – up to 8 hours.
