Functional 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.

Functional 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 functional deficiencies in the analyzed system and to carry out functional modeling. As a result, the application of functional analysis – combined with other tools selected according to the specific nature of the project – leads to the development of product innovation.
In this section, you will learn:
  • What functional analysis is and what it is used for;
  • The stages that make up functional 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.
