Improving processes is essential for any organization looking to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. Whether streamlining operations, automating repetitive tasks, or eliminating bottlenecks, there are many ways to improve processes and boost productivity. In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations that can quickly and effectively adapt to changing market conditions are more likely to succeed. By identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing solutions, businesses can stay ahead of the competition and achieve their goals. This article will explore the benefits of Process Functional Modeling and how it can be used to make strategic and tactical decisions that lead…
We always talk about solving problems and improving processes of an operation, a part of a bigger process. This is great! In fact, it is always encouraged to break the bigger, more complex process into smaller pieces so we can simplify the problem we are working on. However, this approach may create another issue. The engineers working on a problem, especially in large complex processes, might end up diving into the wrong operation of the process. In this article, we introduce the newly released tool in the PRIZ Innovation Platform that is built to help engineers look at the whole…
System Functional Model, also known as Function Modeling, is a popular problem-solving & innovation tool that helps us to model a problem using functional language and identify problematic and functional components. Functional modeling helps us to think within the scope of components and their functions instead of the system as a whole. PRIZ Webinar #8 is dedicated to Functional Modelling and it took place on September 15, 2022 at 6 pm IDT, 4 pm GMT, 11 am EST, 8 am PST During the webinar, we learned: The power of the Functional Modelling Main components of the Functional Model: Product, System…
Functional modeling is probably the most powerful problem-solving tool available for us as engineers. The tool is applicable to both sudden, unpredictable deviations (AKA excursions) and for solving chronic problems. The power of Functional Modeling Functional modeling benefits us in a number of things. Here, however, we want to highlight just some of them. Learn and understand how a system operates Define and rank functionality of all system components Define and rank the problematic level of the components Solve problems and improve the functionality of the system: Enhance the functionality of the system by modifying the components having high…
