A Six Sigma and Problem-Solving tool that is often forgotten but is beneficial is called TRIZ. TRIZ is based on the idea that many of the underlying “root” problems that engineers face today contain elements that have already been solved (approximately 90%), often in a completely different industry, for a totally unrelated situation, that uses an entirely different technology. The presentation is intended to introduce this tool.
