Evaluate the TRIZ tools used and their role in New Product Development Processes

/in /by

Overview:
For this assignment, you are required to:
Utilise and apply at least TWO (2) TRIZ tools to the client product.
Identify THREE (3) possible product options that may be appropriate for the client.
Develop mockup, 3D model, virtual design, sketch etc. of your possible product options
Describe the features, functions, benefits or technical specifications of your product options
Evaluate the TRIZ tools used and their role in New Product Development Processes
Complete a Value Proposition Canvas for each of your new ideas – and post into your teams discussion board to communicate effectively to your team members about each of the new ideas (once teams have formed). Attach each of the Value Proposition Canvas’s into your Reports Appendix.
Identifying an opportunity
While there are a range of different theory-based explanations for identifying new opportunities, when working with an existing product, a key method used by product development specialists is TRIZ – the theory of inventive problem solving.
This method offers you a number of tools, including the Contradictions, Ideality, Functional Analysis, 40 Inventive Principles for use to deconstruct, develop or adapt existing products to create new product opportunities. You are required to utilise the TRIZ tools to generate new product opportunities for your client.
As part of your report, you are asked to conduct a literature review exploring the application of TRIZ tools for new product development where you can reflect on the process and place your own experience in relation to the broader research literature and findings.
Identifying a possible solution
When you adopt TRIZ tools for looking at the existing product, this will help you to make an intuitive jump for changes that may be necessary for your client’s product. This may focus on their key product or may involve aspects of their value chain or business partnerships.
■ Direct product changes (existing product is changed to generate new product)
■ Indirect product application (products that may complement or run parallel to the product being developed by your client)
■ New product application (completely new-to-market product, not yet introduced)
Detail/explain possible solutions
You will need to detail/explain the new product (s) in sufficient detail that another person will understand what is unique about your product (s) opportunities. You may consider detailing the different product features, functions, benefits etc.
Develop a design, mockup, 3D model, virtual design, sketch etc. of your possible product options.
Individual Activity Parameters:
For this assignment, you are required to:
■ Deliver a 5(FIVE) page report.
■ 1 (ONE) additional page is allowed for references, if needed.
■ 3 (THREE) additional pages are allowed for Appendices and product mockups, if needed.
■ Swinburne Harvard style references are accepted.
■ Use at least (minimum) 9 size font.
■ Use info-graphics and innovative ways to present your TRIZ tools being applied, and your product options.
■ Complete a Value Proposition Canvas for each idea – and communicate with your team by posting to your teams Discussion Board

Writing Instructions and Formatting / Citation RequirementsWriting Instructions and Formatting / Citation Requirements
For the Primary Document Analysis (PDA) papers this semester, you will select a single document or specified group of documents from the documents provided within each Unit’s PDA Assignment page. After reading your selected document please submit a written essay that:

1. Addresses the stated writing prompt(s) associated with the specific PDA assignment and selected documents.

2. Exceeds the stated MINIMUM length requirement for the associated writing prompt(s).

The Writing Assignments for this course should be written and submitted with the following formatting rules:

1. The essays should be Double-Spaced and written in Times New Roman font with a point size of 12.

2. The top, bottom, left, and right margins should all be the standard 1″ in size.

3. The single-spaced header on the first page should include your Name and Document # from which your analysis is drawn. There is no need for a header on any
subsequent page. There is also no need for a Title. Please be aware that if you should decide to include in your submission a Title that this will not be
counted towards your minimum length requirement.

4. You will be penalized for any submission that does not meet the stated minimum length requirement.

5. Because of the short length of these assignments, please avoid directly quoting the document unless it is absolutely essential to your argument. Instead, briefly
paraphrase the passage(s) and focus instead upon providing your analysis and supporting your argumentation.

6. There is no need to provide a citation for the single document you are analyzing. However, if you have used outside sources beyond the document provided,
please include citations using the MLA Format. This will include in-text citations and a Works Cited Page. The Works Cited Page should be on a separate page at
the conclusion of your essay and will not count towards the minimum length requirement.

If you need any help with the above formatting guidelines or citing your sources, please do not hesitate to email me. A very good online resource for any
college-level writing assignment is the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL).The following URL will lead you directly to their pages related to MLA citations: Click Here

Finally, there should be no excuses for attempting to use the ideas and/or words of any of your sources and attempting to pass them off as your own. Plagiarism
will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Simply citing your source(s) does not give you permission to copy them word-for-word unless they are being directly
quoted and placed in quotation marks. Even attempting to adjust the sentence structure or altering a couple of words in a source will not absolve you of charges of
plagiarism. The skill of paraphrasing (or putting a source’s words or ideas into your own words) is not a simple one to acquire. The Purdue OWL provides some
helpful hints and exercises to work on this: Click Here

The trick with paraphrasing is avoiding the words and phrases of your source(s) as much as possible. The best technique I have learned is to read your source and
then either close the book or minimize the website. Think about what you read and how it makes sense to you and the argument(s) you are trying to make. Next,
without the help of the open book or visible website, write the information down in your paper. It will probably not sound as good or be as polished as the original
source, but hopefully it will actually be your own thoughts about the chosen topic. The purpose of these Unit Essays is for you to think deeper about a topic of your
choosing and provide me with your own thoughts on the matter. Outside research is certainly acceptable. However, I am interested in what YOU think and not what
others have said about the questions/issues being addressed.

Once again, please email me with any questions that you may have and I look forward to reading your original words and ideas this semester.

Document Set #1: Plunkitt of Tammany Hall (1905)
This document sheds an unfiltered light on politics in the Gilded Age by detailing the famous / infamous career of a New York City politician. Plunkitt’s views provide
a window into this era and the fundamental transformations reshaping the country and redefining what it meant to be an American.

Answer the following three (3) questions in an essay a MINIMUM length of Two (2) FULL Pages.

1. What does this document reveal about the nature of American politics in the Gilded Age? Please be specific.

2. What major aspects of Mr. Plunkitt’s approach to politics do you approve of and/or disapprove of? Why? Please be specific.

3. Are there parallels with this primary document from the early 1900s and the nature of politics and role of politicians in modern society today? In what specific ways?

Please remember to use specific evidence from these documents to support your arguments.
A note about Minimum Length Requirements
Please be aware that the associated page length requirement stated in the writing prompt for these PDA Assignments is merely a MINIMUM one and the expectation is
that you will do more work in this course than simply the bare minimum. The historical subjects and events covered by these documents
should provide you with enough material to never have to be concerned with having too little to write about. In my history courses, there is never such a thing as a maximum
length limit. Consequently, please refer to the grading rubric for this assignment to understand the point penalties for not clearly exceeding the minimum length requirement.

Format: Essay
Length: 2,000 words
Please note that the word count includes in text citations but not your reference list. There is no +10% allowance for word limit. Your mark will be affected if the word count exceeds the specified word limit because any words beyond the specified word limit will not be marked.
Assessment details
For this assessment you are required to review the following case study and answer the question below. Please read the case study carefully.
This assessment should be submitted in a modified essay format. This means students are required to include an introduction, body and conclusion in their work. Headings are acceptable, but dot points, lists, tables and pictures are not. Students should reference according to the guidelines set out in the APA 6 referencing guide.
This assessment requires you to explore the evidence base around nursing care for the older adult who has experienced an acute illness. You will need to critically analyse the current best practice nursing literature as it applies to the case study.
Only research articles are to be used for your identification of best practice. That is, unit protocols or guidelines, textbooks and other secondary sources do NOT qualify as suitable reference material for uncovering the evidence base for best practice. PubMed, The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health literature (CINAHL) and Medline are useful sources to locate the research evidence for this essay.
Case Scenario
Mrs Vaz is a 78 year old female. She is an inpatient on the acute geriatrics ward. She has a history of osteoarthritis, transient ischaemic attacks (x2), mild dementia, hyperlipidaemia, and type II diabetes mellitus. Mrs Vaz is a widow who lives in the granny flat behind the home of her son and his young family. She enjoys maintaining the family garden, but she says that she finds it increasingly difficult to kneel down and go up and down the stairs of the sloping garden. Before her dementia diagnosis, she had been occasionally minding her two young grandchildren after school. Mrs Vaz was admitted to hospital after experiencing an acute episode of delirium. The cause of the delirium was precipitated by a urinary tract infection, which has since been resolved. While in hospital, Mrs Vaz has become incontinent of urine. She will soon be transferred to the geriatric rehabilitation ward, where the aim will be to set individualized, meaningful goals for her eventual discharge from hospital.
Based on the case study provided, identify three (3) rehabilitation goals for Mrs Vaz.
With reference to these identified goals;
Discuss the significance of these goals to Mrs Vaz, based on her current risk factors
Draw on the relevant evidence base, to critically analyse best practice for the nursing interventions which would be appropriate to achieve each of these goals
Provide an evidence based rationale for your nursing interventions
