Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Oct. 24, 2010)
We held the 'Sixth TRIZ Symposium in Japan' with 165 participants (including 41 from Korea and 5 from other overseas countries) and 40 presentations (including 13 by overseas presenters). Here is (the first part of) my personal report of the Symposium for the purpose of introducing this significant TRIZ event held in Japan to people all over the world who are interested in TRIZ and its applications. Please refer to the Official Reports and Documents
.
The present report is written 'personally' along the line of my series of 'Personal Reports' of important TRIZ conferences, including TRIZCONs in USA
, ETRIA TFCs in Europe
Since the number and contents of the presentations are big this year again, it has become increasingly difficult for me to write a report in detail. I am now much delayed in writing this Personal Report, but I will definitely write it through. Because of the large volume of work, I am going to post my Personal Report in steps in several divided parts. I will use the same framework of the report as my previous ones. The following table shows the tentative plan of the contents, and the progress of posting. In the latter part of this page I have shown tables of presentations tentatively categorized according to this table.

The TRIZ Symposium was started as an open National conference on TRIZ in 2005 and then have added the International features little by little since 2006. For overcoming the language barriers we have needed much efforts. And the efforts have been supported by many presenters/participants/volunteers from Japan and abroad and resulted in much success. I would like to state our policy of organizing this Symposium with minor modification of my last year report:
For the Sixth TRIZ Symposium, we set its goals in four main points, essentially the same as in the preceding years:
(1) The first goal is to make the Symposium an open and active conference of all the people involved in TRIZ on the basis of a standard procedure as an academic conference. This procedure was actually carried out very smoothly: In Nov. 2009 we announced the outline, including the date and the place, of the Symposium. In Feb 22. 2010, we announced the plan of Symposium and called for papers openly (both in Japanese and in English)
You may notice that we do not adopt the procedure of peer-reviewing of full papers. The extended abstract of one full page is checked and temporarily accepted by the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Program Committee. Then at the Organizing Committee Meeting (of 7 members including all the 4 members of Program Committee), the submitted papers are screened with rough evaluation of the quality and the scope of subject. We request revision/clarification to the authors from time to time but we very rarely reject the papers at this stage. The Advanced Agenda is decided by the Organizing Committee and then approved by the Managing Meeting of Japan TRIZ Society. The final manuscripts are also quickly checked (and sometimes advised for improvement) by the Program Committee but not reviewed/screened. Thus the authors, and not the Committee, should have the full responsibility for the contents of the presentations. The choice of either Oral or Poster presentation was made mostly on the basis of Author's preference (Note: Even though there are some delicate cases concerning to this choice, almost all Japanese authors understand the merits and demerits of the two styles in our previous symposia). These policies are set for the purpose of encouraging people to give presentations. We think the one-page extended abstracts have enough information for the Program Committee to roughly evaluate the quality of the paper and to set up the Agenda in a sensible and appropriate manner.
(2) The second main goal was to provide as much opportunities of presentation and discussion among all the participants. We would like to have as many and as high-quality presentations as possible.
The reviewing/screening policies mentioned in (1) are set for this purpose, of course.
The choices of presentation styles should be considered carefully; especially choice of either oral or poster, and choice of either plenary, double track, or multiple tracks. We want to keep enough time for presentation and discussion for each paper and need to accommodate over 40 papers in the limited period of time.
We have chosen the Keynote sessions to be 80 minutes (60 min. talk + 20 min. Q&A), the Special interest lectures sessions to be 60 minutes (45 min. talk + 15 min. Q&A), and the contributed oral sessions to be 40 minutes (30 min. talk + 10 min. Q&A). This length of time is found both necessary and sufficient in almost all cases (but this year the two Keynote speakers seemed to have found 80 min. to be too short). We have to choose double tracks for all the contributed oral presentations (and no single track contributed papers).
We also had two Poster & Demo Sessions for multiple parallel presentations. We carried out these sessions as follows: We had a short plenary session for 'Introduction to Posters' where every author outlines their work in 3 minutes by using only 2 to 4 slides. Then after moving to separate rooms we had the Poster & Demo Session of 6 (or 5) posters in parallel. By using max. 16 slide pages, the presenters gave a short talk (and discussion) of 20 min. and repeated it two, three times during the 70 min. (or 50 min.) session. Almost all the Symposium participants visited 2 or 3 poster presentations one after another. Presenters at the Poster sessions reported afterwards that they presented and discussed for full 70 minutes with eager participants and that they were glad to have given their presentations in the form of posters. --- We feel some types of presentations are suitable for posters and some others for oral talks.
(3) The third main goal was to increase the International nature of the Symposium by somehow overcoming the language barriers. 'Either National OR International' is a form of ordinary choice enforced by a contradiction. We set the target of the Symposium as 'Primarily National AND Partially (but as much as possible) International' since 2006 and have already established our own way of achieving this target.
The ordinary solution of overcoming language barriers (between Japanese and English languages, in the present case) would be using interpreters. This solution faces with the difficulties in getting skilled interpreters and in cost; Moreover, sequential interpretation loses half of the time while simultaneous interpretation needs special facilities. In contrast to such an oral/contemporary/temporary assistance, we have chosen a new solution based on visual/preparative/permanent assistance. We have translated the slides beforehand and projected the slides in two languages in parallel, and published the Proceedings in the two language editions. This is a solution based on 'Prior Action' and 'Using Another Sense' (visual assistance). The solution was implemented by the cooperation of Japanese authors to provide both Japanese and English slides and by the organizing members' work of supporting the Japanese authors and also of translating English slides into Japanese. The translation work was also supported by a number of voluntary people outside the organizing members. Nevertheless, some Japanese authors chose the option of no English translation, which was approved as a practical choice.
This solution has been evaluated highly by most of the participants and even Japanese authors, according to their answers to our post-conference inquiry. It is useful and good enough for most of Japanese people, who understand English more or less in listening. For people from overseas, however, this solution is helpful to a large extent but not fully, depending on the ways of making slides. We tried to design the double tracks of the oral presentations to be composed of an English speaking and a Japanese speaking track. Some Japanese participants went back and forth between the two tracks, but few overseas did so.
Discussions in most oral presentations (having slides in two languages) are sequentially interpreted in both directions. This was done by two organizing members and two more voluntary people. This interpreter service has been appreciated highly by many Japanese participants for much better understanding.
In this Symposium, submission of presentation slides is requested, while submission of full paper is optional. This policy is preferred by many Japanese industry people, because writing a full paper is a heavy burden for them. As a result, submission of a full paper was done by very few authors (2 full papers in Japanese and 1 in English). -- Starting this year, we have published the Proceedings in a digital format, which enables us to publish all the manuscripts, i.e. both slides and papers, without worrying about the publication cost. Thus we would like to encourage the authors to submit full papers as well.
This year we received 13 presentations given by overseas authors. They include Keynote lectures from Canada and from Iran (to many of you, Keynote from Iran may be a big surprise), and contributed papers from UK, Italy, Thailand, and eight from Korea. It is remarkable that Korean authors demonstrated nice case studies of technical problem solving and TRIZ promotion in industries. One big surprise for us, Symposium organizers, this year was a delegation of 30 people from Korean industry, i.e. Samsung and POSCO. They seem to be well motivated and eager to learn TRIZ practices through the Symposium.
We still have various difficulties caused by the language barrier and a lot to do for making our Symposium more useful for both Japanese and overseas TRIZ people.
(4) The main theme of the Symposium this year was "New Fields and New Users!". We tried to extend our application areas of TRIZ to new fields and to obtain new users. Invitation of two Keynote Lectures from abroad and request of five Special Interest Lectures to Japanese leaders (in addition to a Tutorial) are planned for such a purpose. Khomenko's OTSM-TRIZ is a methodology which is now used in the frontier of large, complex, socio-technical problems, while Karimi's activities in Iran are amazing examples of penetrating TRIZ into ordinary people in society by using mass media, e.g., newspapers, radio, and TV. In the case of Special Interest Lectures, the organizers selected five topics and requested TRIZ leaders to review the field and introduce new approaches in a way comprehensible for new users. Among the contributed papers, there are many presentations which extends TRIZ application to new fields, such as software development, business problems, mind training, etc.
Case study reports of real or familiar problems are very helpful for people to learn a method and its application. Our TRIZ Symposium in Japan has a good tradition of practice-oriented approaches and open disclosure of case studies especially by industrial users. This year, case study reports from Japanese industries are found very few unfortunately. (The biggest reason is probably the severe economic depression in Japan for these two years especially in the export-oriented manufacturing industries. Nevertheless, overcoming the present situation is a big issue for us Japanese TRIZ community.) Contributions of case study reports by Korean industries are remarkable. They have shown examples of promoting TRIZ in a company-wide scale and of solving technical problems with TRIZ at a high level.
As a consequence, the number of Japanese participants this year is 119, almost the same as last year. We regard this fact positively in respect to the present hard time in Japanese industries. In addition to many 'core people' having passion in TRIZ, we have obtained new people in different sections of industries. A hidden issue for us is the rather high average age of Japan TRIZ community; we need to convey TRIZ more to younger and active generations of people. The voluntary cooperation by people outside the organizing members increased further this year, giving us much light for the next year Symposium.
As described above in general organizational context, the Japan TRIZ Symposium has successfully played its big role again this year, we believe. Please refer to the contents of presentations in the following sections.

11. Miscellaneous (Apr. 24, 2011)
[*** Now that I have finished writing my reviews/introductions of all the presentations given at the Symposium, I am going to write the end parts of my Personal Report, i.e. Miscellaneous and Concluding Remarks. I will use my previous report of TRIZ Symposium 2009 as the template for writing here on TRIZ Symposium 2010.]
I would like to mention about the Venue first. This year, Kanagawa Institute of Technology (KIT) kindly hosted the TRIZ Symposium. KIT is an active, privately-run university, having 4 Faculties (i.e., Faculties of Engineering, Creative Engineering, Applied Bioscience, and Information Technology) and about 5000 students. We are very grateful to Professor Masao Ishihama (Department of Vehicle System Engineering), Mr. Hiroyuki Ishizaki (Industrial Liaison Office) and others for their services and arrangements. The media room, where we had the plenary sessions, has about 300 sheets each equipped with electric consent and LAN adapter.
KIT is located in Atsugi City, in the south-western suburbs of Tokyo. The express train from Shinjuku Station (in Tokyo) to Hon-Atsugi Station takes nearly one hour, and the bus from Hon-Atsugi to KIT takes nearly 30 minutes. Since no accommodation is available in/near KIT, most participants stayed at hotels near Hon-Atsugi Station. These conditions of transportation and accommodation gave us some constraints in the Symposium schedule.
I should also mention about the number of participants, here. TRIZ Symposium 2010 had the participation by 119 Japanese, 41 Korean, and 5 other foreigners (from Canada, Iran, UK, Italy, and Thailand). From Korea, 5 Oral presentations and 3 Poster presentations were given, and further, a Korean consultant firm KMAC organized the delegates of over 30 people mostly from Samsung Group and POSCO. Such a big presence of Korean people was a special experience of this time in the history of TRIZ-related events in Japan.
On the First day morning, we had a preliminary session of Introductory Discussion for 2 hours with the coordination by Shinsuke Kurosawa. This was held, in parallel to the Tutorial presented only in Japanese, with the aims at having a chance of getting acquainted with one another among the people from overseas and from Japan. Roughly 50 people joined this session. At the end of this session, KATA (Korea Academic TRIZ Association) gave a short presentation about its organization.
In the First-day evening, we had 'Buffet Dinner & Communications' for 2 hours at the Cafeteria. People met and talked freely without seating, while having food and some soft and alcoholic drinks. This is an effective way of having informal and intimate communications. Keynote Speakers were welcomed and introduced to people.
On this occasion, a brief ceremony was held for presenting the Award of The "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" Foundation to Dr. Nikolai Khomenko
For Your Contributions:
In recognition of your contributions and services over many years in the research, writing, development, and training on TRIZ and OTSM-TRIZ for guiding people and children in the World, an award is hereby presented with sincere appreciation and gratitude.
September 9th, 2010 "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" Foundation Toru Nakagawa[*** Note that Dr. Nikolai Khomenko passed away on Mar. 27, 2011. We are very sad on his passing away. It was fortunate for us that the Award was presented to him for showing our appreciation of his work.]
On the second day evening, we had informal and voluntary Group Discussions for 2 hours. [The cafeteria at the venue was not open at the dinner time, and participants had to go out for eating before the discussion sessions. I myself did not know this (lack of) arrangement beforehand. We, the organizers of the Symposium, deeply apologize for our poor management/announcement in this relation.] Though not so many as I expected earlier, about 50 people joined the Group Discussions on 5 different topics. The discussions were coordinated but were not meant to be recorded for the purpose of informal and frank communications among the people. The 5 groups were:
(A) Education and TRIZ (Coordinated by Toru Nakagawa): Nikolai Khomenko gave presentations on his experiences of Creativity education at schools, and Mahmoud Karimi talked about his experiences of penetrating TRIZ in society extending his Keynote Lecture. Katsuya Miyanishi's work was also introduced briefly.
(B) Technical & Industrial TRIZ (coordinated by Shinsuke Kurosawa, Gaetano Cascini (Italy), and SeHo Cheong (Korea)): Informal discussions were carried out on various experiences of promoting and applying TRIZ in industries. [In spite of my expectation most of the Korean delegates did not attend the Group Discussion.]
(C) Product planning, IP strategies, and TRIZ (Coordinated by Manabu Sawaguchi and Toshimitsu Kataoka): Informal discussions.
(D) IT/Software and TRIZ (Coordinated by Yojiro Fukushima): Informal discussions.
(E) Introducing TRIZ (Coordinated by Mamoru Zenko): Informal discussions in Japanese with people relatively new to TRIZ.
Early on the Second-day morning, the General Assembly Meeting of the NPO Japan TRIZ Society was held for one hour. This was an official meeting as an NPO, as requested by Japanese law. Japan TRIZ Society has about 120 members on the voluntary basis. The General Assembly Meeting approved the activity and finance reports for 2009-10 and those plans for 20010-2011, and elected two additional Board members. (Note: the fiscal term of the NPO starts on July 1, while the term of the Board members starts on Oct. 1 (for 2 years).)
Early on the Third-day morning, the Education and TRIZ Study Group of Japan TRIZ Society had a meeting for one hour. About 25 people introduced themselves and their experiences in TRIZ education in universities, schools, and industries.
As a Pre-Symposium Seminar, we had a one-day advanced seminar on "Introduction to OTSM-TRIZ" on Sept. 8, 2010 at SANNO's Satellite Office near Tokyo Station. Nikolai Khomenko gave an intensive talk on OTSM for net 6 hours. The Seminar was held by Japan TRIZ Society with the support by SANNO Institute of Management and "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" Foundation. I am planning to post the full set of presentation slides by Khomenko in this Web site. [==> Semianr page
12. Concluding Remarks [Apr. 28, 2011]
As the basis of writing concluding remarks on the 6th TRIZ Symposium in Japan, 2010, I would like to quote the statistics shown in the Opening Address by Toshihiro Hayashi, Chairperson of the Board, Japan TRIZ Society.
(1) The most important factor in the Symposium is the presentations. This year we had 2 Keynote Lectures, 1 tutorial, 5 Special Interest Lectures, and 32 contributed presentations (including 21 Oral and 11 Poster presentations). The number (total 40) is quite large even though slightly smaller than in the last year. The quality of the presentations has been improved year after year, as you may feel from my reviews. There are a number of good and rich presentations based on much research and experiences.
(2) The number of participants, i.e. 165 including 119 from Japan and 46 from overseas (mostly from Korea), showed an remarkable success of the Symposium particularly under the severe depression of Japanese economy. The number of participants from Japan was essentially the same as in the last year (i.e., 118); 31% of the Japanese attendees came to the TRIZ Symposium for the first time. Industry users reduced in number slightly but still remained nearly half. We understand that these Japanese participants are the 'core people' of TRIZ in Japan who are working hard to study, apply, promote, improve TRIZ in their own organizations. It was exceptional that Korean industry people joined our Symposium forming a group of 30 people. They were TRIZ specialists and leaders-to-be in Samsung and POSCO, desiring to see Japanese TRIZ activities for themselves.
(3) Predominant involvement by industries and industrial engineers has been the feature of our Japan TRIZ Symposia. This year only 2 Japanese industries (SONY and Konica-Minolta BT) made their own presentations, even though 16 Japanese industries joined the voluntary-based study-group presentations (they include Hitachi, SONY, Nitto Denko, Fujitsu Advanced Technologies, Pioneer, Nikon, Konica-Minolta BT, Yokogawa Electric, Toshiba Tech, DOCOMO Systems, Tokyo Keiki Kogyo, Fuji Xerox, JR West Japan, Omron, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Sekisui Engineering). Korean industries gave 5 presentations (they include Hyundai-Kia Motor, Samsung Electronics, Samsung Mobile Display).
(4) Contributions by voluntary, multi-company study groups on TRIZ are also active this year, too. The groups are: TRIZ Spreading/Use Study Group (of Japan VE Association Kansai Branch), USIT/TRIZ Study Group (of MPUF), IP Creation Study Group (of Japan TRIZ Society) and Business & Management TRIZ Study Group (of Japan TRIZ Society). Please refer to my Personal Report of TRIZ Symposium 2008
(5) In Japan, TRIZ specialists who work as independent consultants or for consulting firms are gradually increasing. Most of them have experiences of promoting/applying TRIZ and some other methods as engineers in industries and either span out or retired the industries. Such people contributed to give 10 independent presentations and to lead 4 study-group presentations. Probably this is a sign of the Japanese TRIZ community getting mature gradually.
(6) In the educational field, mostly in universities, Japan has made some results in TRIZ but not much. This year we had 7 independent presentations and 3 more joint presentations by university people (or in the field of education). For such presentations, a junior high school boy, a 2nd year under-graduate student, and a Master course graduate student played the role of top author respectively.
(7) Keynote Lectures gave much impressions to participants. Mahmoud Karimi (Iran)
(8) For understanding TRIZ deeper and developing it further, I would like to recommend 3 papers: Shinsuke Kurosawa
(9) Case studies of TRIZ applications in the technical fields have been reported actively, especially by Korean industries. Hong-Wook Lee et al. (Korea)
(10) For promoting TRIZ in industries, Kazuya Yamaguchi's lecture
(11) In the area of TRIZ software tools, Darrell Mann, Paul Filmore, et al. (UK)
(12) On the topic of "Education and TRIZ", Toru Nakagawa
(13) Expansion of TRIZ usage towards soft, non-technical fields has been demonstrated well by the joint works by Hideto Sanjou
In the brief summary (8)-(13), I can mention only 22 presentations. You may read more detailed introduction to all the 40 presentations in Part A through Part H of this Personal Report, and their original presentation files in PDF in the Symposium Proceedings. I hope you would find that The 6th TRIZ Symposium in Japan 2010 succeeded in presenting a lot of new, rich, interesting, useful works in the field of TRIZ and related areas and also in encouraging and stimulating people in Japan and in the World.
We, Japan TRIZ Society, are now working hard again for preparing the next Japan TRIZ Symposium in coming September even after the disaster caused by March 11 Earthquake & Tsunami and subsequent Fukushima nuclear power plant accident.
