TRIZ
TRIZ is a
Russian acronym meaning "The theory of solving inventor's problems" or "The theory of inventor's problem solving". It was developed by a Soviet engineer and researcher Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues starting in 1946.
TRIZ is a methodology, tool set, knowledge base, and model-based technology for generating innovative ideas and solutions for problem solving. TRIZ provides tools and methods for use in problem formulation, system analysis, failure analysis, and patterns of system evolution. TRIZ, in contrast to techniques such as brainstorming (which is based on random idea generation), aims to create an algorithmic approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of old systems.
TRIZ 40 Principles of invention
The "forty principles" of TRIZ are basic engineering parameters of common objects, such as weight, length, and manufacturing tolerances. TRIZ methodology claims that by studying an individual parameter which is causing a problem (e.g., the weight of an object needs to be reduced), and the other parameters which are in conflict with it (e.g., lower weight would require thinner material, which is more likely to undergo catastrophic failure if overstressed), engineering solutions can be created for invention.

Principle 1: Segmentation
Divide an object into independent parts.
Make an object easy to disassemble. Increase the degree of fragmentation or
segmentation.
Principle 2: Taking Out,
Extraction
Separate an interfering part or property
from an object, or single out the only necessary part (or property) of an
object.
