Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Apr. 17, 2009)

This paper was presented at the Fourth TRIZ Symposium in Japan, 2008 , which was held last September by 'Japan TRIZ Society, NPO'.  The presentation was given in an Oral session on the first day afternoon.  It is a vivid presentation of promotion activities of QFD, TRIZ, and Taguchi Method together.

This paper obtained the second place of Presentation Award "Best presentation for me" among Oral Japanese presentations.  Congratulations!!  The Award was given according to the voting by Japanese participants for Oral and Poster presentations, respectively .  Japan TRIZ Society decided to post the Awarded Presentations (up to the third place) publicly in its Official Web sites. 

The presentation slides in English are now posted in PDF in the Official Pages of  Japan TRIZ CB , while those in Japanese in the Official Pages of Japan TRIZ Society and of Japan TRIZ CB.  Full paper was not provided in this case.

In the present page, I post my introduction to this useful presentation for making it familiar to wider range of readers.  The introduction is an excerpt of my "Personal Report of Japan TRIZ Symposium 2008" posted on Oct. 26, 2008.  The introduction is now translated into Japanese and posted in my Japanese page of this site.

Personal Report of The Fourth TRIZ Symposium in Japan, 2008

Tomohiko Katagiri, Toshiaki Tsuchizawa, and Takeshi Yamanouchi (Koganei Co., Ltd.) [O-7 #19] gave an oral talk with the title of "Case Study of Introducing and Applying TRIZ to Real Projects for Obtaining Results (= Benefits): Innovating the Product Development Process by use of QFD, TRIZ, and TM together". 

In the Abstract, the background is explained in the following way:

"Our company is a manufacturer having 800 employees for producing and selling pneumatic equipments of all kinds. As usual for an SME manufacturer, engineers in charge of product development also have to work in close contact with people for marketing research, sales, production, prosecution, etc. and have to manage all of their catalogue products of about 300,000 types. And from the management they are requested the results rather than the processes. Under these conditions, we have started to innovate our product development process since October 2006."

The slide (see right) is the contents of the presentation.

Their "Policies for Implementation" is most interesting in their presentation.  The management and a group of engineers met TRIZ (and other process innovation) consultants and were convinced to start implement them.  They chose to implement QFD, TRIZ and Taguchi Method along the course (3 years) of three experimental projects.  They have chosen only one consultant to lead all these methods together.  The methods were trained to a large number of engineers and were applied to the experiment projects.  This trial has carried out nearly 2 years and leaves one more year.  The presentation was done vividly by the engineer group, not the consultant.
