7. TRIZ-ARZ-007 — ARIZ, Complex Inventive Problems, OTSM-TRIZ and Structured Advanced Problem Solving
Description:
This Master Prompt would focus on advanced TRIZ procedures for problems that cannot be adequately resolved using individual tools such as the contradiction matrix or inventive principles alone. It would guide researchers in applying the Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving (ARIZ), understanding its structured reasoning sequence and determining when extensions such as OTSM-TRIZ, IDM-TRIZ or related advanced frameworks are required for multi-layered, dynamic or highly interconnected problems.
A major emphasis would be placed on matching problem complexity with methodological depth. Researchers would determine whether a problem can be handled using a focused classical TRIZ tool or requires a more comprehensive algorithm involving system analysis, contradictions, resources, ideality and iterative reformulation. The literature recognizes ARIZ as an important route for practical inventive problem solving while also noting its knowledge demands and the need to select TRIZ tools according to the characteristics, needs and targets of individual design problems. Complex-problem studies likewise distinguish classical TRIZ from extensions such as OTSM-TRIZ and emphasize the importance of selecting tools appropriate to the nature of the problem.
