Visualization of the Inventive Principle of TRIZ to Improve Problem-Solving Ability in Design Processs

TRIZ as a problem-solving method has been widely used in the 21
^st
century. This study aims to obtain a new method that can be used as a supplementary of the TRIZ learning process. The new method will be developed by visualizing the 40 Inventive principles of TRIZ in the form of symbols. The symbol is developed as an image to describe the inventive principle clearly, so the users can distinguish one principle from another. The symbol is equipped with examples of the use of principles in the design process. The symbol had been evaluated by professionals who have known and used TRIZ to solve problems in the design field.
