Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Sept. 9, 2002; Translated into English on Mar. 7, 2003)

This document shows the outline of the 76 Inventive Standards of TRIZ.  This document was composed during the process of reorganizing TRIZ Solution Generation Methods into those of USIT and is now posted here as a basic document for making links among various methods and documents of TRIZ and USIT.

Original source of the Inventive Standards is:
   "TRIZ: The Right Solution at the Right Time", by Yuri Salamatov, edited by Valeri Souchkov, Insytec, The Netherland, 1999. (See  ) [Japanese version, translated by Toru Nakagawa and Mitsubishi Research Institute, Nikkei BP, Nov. 2000.]

The hierachical structure of the Standards is shown according to the Salamatov's Textbook.  Indivisual Standards at the third and lower levels are described by Nakagawa in an shorter form for the purpose of easier understanding of overall structure of the Standards.

(Note 1): With reference to Darrell Mann's new Text book "Hands-On Systematic Innovation" (2002), cross references are made to Mann's Standards and to Altshuller's Standards in "Creativity as an Exact Science" (1984).  Salamatov's text seems to match Altshuller's almost exactly.

(Note 2): Cross-references to USIT Solution Generation Methods are shown in a form like: [USIT 1a].  See more detail in the document of "USIT Solution Generation Methods (Extended Version)".

Refer to the list of various TRIZ tools in the parent page.

Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 19, 2012)

TRIZ Inventive Standards were developed originally by Mr. Genrich Altshuller
     (Ref. G.S. Altshuller: "Creatrivity as an Exact Science!", Gordon & Breach Science Publishing, NewYork, 1984;
             G.S. Altshuller: "To Find an Idea", Nauka, Novosibirsk, 1986 (in Russian). 
They are referred here in the form of Salamatov's textbook which is more commonly available in Japan both in English and in Japanese. 
I am happy to upload this page again under the permissions by Mrs. Larisa Komarcheva & Ms. Yuna Komarcheva and by Dr. Yuri Salamatov.
