Function analysis
Function analysis of products is an independent analytical tool within the TRIZ methodology, included in the Level 1 training program and covered by the MATRIZ certification requirements.
Function analysis is a fundamental analytical tool used to identify the components of a system and its supersystem, define the functions of individual components, and characterize them. This process aims to detect function deficiencies in the analyzed system and to carry out function modeling. As a result, the application of function analysis – combined with other tools selected according to the specific nature of the project – leads to the development of product innovation.
Educational objectives
In this section, you will learn:- What function analysis is and what it is used for;
- The stages that make up function analysis;
- The definition of a technical system;
- What a component of a technical system is;
- What a supersystem is;
- What a subsystem is;
- How to divide a technical system into components.
Business objectives
Function analysis is a universal and versatile tool. In the development of product innovations, it will be used primarily to:- Improve existing products;
- Develop new products;
- Simplify systems and reduce product costs;
- Identify and eliminate failures;
- Support the development of intellectual property strategies.
