A Design System Integrating TRIZ Method and Case- Based Reasoning Approach

Today's industrials are facing numerous product development challenges and pressures as a result of an increasingly competitive market. It creates an enormous need for a constantly growing supply of new ideas and solutions. The computer support used by designers still lacks the ability to use experiential knowledge in a rational way. Therefore, pursuit of designer is utilizing innovative design methods and problem-solving approaches to systematically simplify design problem, and hence accelerate the design process. This paper proposed to integrate TRIZ method into CBR process and aims at exploring the possibility to use TRIZ method as a complement to enhance performance of CBR in product design. Wall lighting design problem is used as example, and an interactive CBR system is not only built to provide designers a computational tool to efficiently retrieve usefulness design cases but also assist designers systematically in finding creative ideas.
