TRIZ with Kocaeli TTO Participants
Through our “TRIZ Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving Training” at Kocaeli TTO on 27-28 November, led by Prof. Dr. C. Ruhi Kaykayoğlu and based on efficient and flexible approaches, we supported SmartEnergy, ICM Makina ve Mühendislik Ltd, Şirvanlı Alüminyum Döküm ve Metal İşleme San ve Tic AŞ, and students from Kocaeli University's Department of Mechanical Engineering in achieving the most efficient and flexible results.

Inside the project
Focus
How can technical teams solve complex problems more systematically?
The Kocaeli TTO project focused on addressing a training need through TRIZ tools. Participants worked on their own technical problems.
Systematic problem-solving replaces improvisation with contradiction analysis. This project brought that approach to teams.
Need, bu bilgiyi sistematik problem çözme kapasitesine dönüştürmekti.
Scope
We worked with company participants and mechanical engineering students on TRIZ inventive problem-solving theory in a training program hosted by a technology transfer office. We covered efficient and flexible approaches to problem-solving.
Implementation
WHY WAS TRIZ USED?
TRIZ was used to help teams make technical and physical contradictions within a problem visible before trying to generate solutions directly. Once the contradiction becomes visible, solution patterns become traceable.
Systematic innovation is a working discipline that does not leave creativity to chance. The toughest problems begin to teach when framed with the right questions.
The journey we designed
- 01EXPLOREA situation map was developed by considering the organization's real needs, current ways of working and external signals together.
- 02REFRAMEParticipants practiced creative problem solving and application through their own real work problems.
- 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONA follow-through plan was developed with teams to connect the methods learned to daily workflows.
Kaykayoğlu project insight
Good engineering requires clear contradictions before strong solutions.
