This study explores the integration of various resources, such as straw, chocolate powder, sugar, toaster, glass, pot, accordeon, Lego, snacks, pacifier, thermometer, multicolor pen, keys, pot, colander, magazine, and more, to develop innovative and efficient products and processes. It examines the values, functions, and potential changes that can be made to existing solutions, problem solving, and marketing strategies.

What is the NEXT GENERATION of your product or process? INNOVATION STUDY What can be changed, what can be gained? INNOVATION
What are EXISTING SOLUTIONS to your specific problem? PROBLEM SOLVING Someone, somewhere solved your problem PROBLEM SOLVING
SOLUTION MARKETING A solution in search of problems product properties application functions
What is the NEXT GENERATION of your product or process? new product or process INNOVATION STUDY existing product or process SOLUTION MARKETING PROBLEM SOLVING existing market new market
Contents • Value and function What VALUES do we want? 2. Out of the box in time and space: What RESOURCES do we have? 3. Analogy across domains Where do we look for INSPIRATION? 4. Variation of properties for new or improved functions What do we change, what do we GAIN?
What do MECHATRONICS customers want? VALUE EQUATION= PERFORMANCE – (HARM + INTERFACE + COST)
Angles of value PERFORMANCE What the product or process has to do, what it is made for, the main function, make that better or more. You can also introduce a new performance. Ideal performance is PERFECT. LESS HARM What are the harmful elements in your system, harmful to the environment? Sound? Heat? Time? Pollution? Ideally here you want a HARMLESS, SAFE or BIO system. INTERFACE What is the user interface like? Can you make it easier, nicer, design? What can be a better experience to the user? Ideally the interface goes to zero and the system goes to SELF. COST What about the efficiency of the system? What are the cost components? How can you reduce the cost of the user? Ideally the cost goes towards FREE product or process.
free perfect everywhere always More or less for more or less more for more more for less less for less less for more?

MECHANICAL MECHANICAL - mechanical Energy generating revolving door architecture · energy The Boon Edam revolving door plays a very important part in achieving and maintaining the sustainability of the building. The Tourniket revolving door will help primarily to save the carefully generated and conserved energy. A calculation was made for this particular situation that indicated an energy saving of around 4600 kWh per year, a considerable saving compared to a conventional sliding entrance.

Classification of knowledge by Function CLEAN Disruption?
Classification of knowledge by Function example SANYO has now succeeded in implementing its Electrolyzed Water technology cultivated in SANYO's Water purifying bacteria-removing device into the Fully-Automatic "Wash with Ultrasonic Waves and Electrolysis" washing machine. By combining Electrolyzed Water's dirt dissolving and bacteria-removing properties with the cleansing power of Ultrasonic Wave technology SANYO has brought to realization the World's first "Zero-Detergent course" washing machine. SANYO Introduces the Worlds First Zero-Detergent Electrolyzed Water Cleaning Powered Washing MachineAllows the option of "Detergent Course" or "Non-Detergent Course" according to the extent and type of dirt
