If someone wants to have a personal cloakroom, in a space starved downtown office, what is the way out????
Let’s delve into detail , by looking at the problem first. The problem here is someone wants to have his own personal space (in the cloakroom of course) where it is impossible to get one. But if that someone ever wish for it he will be booted out and will be asked to get LOST. So the problem is “Someone want to have his personal space but he cannot. In TRIZ, this problem is categorized as “ Physical Contradiction In Space”, The Inventive Principles used to solve problem such problems are Segmentation, Taking Out, Local Quality, Another Dimension, Other Way Round, Curvature, Nested Doll, Flexible Shells thin films, Asymmetry, Intermediary, Copying
Let’s play with some principles and generate an ingenious idea
Other Way Round: Make the operational / working space as non-operational. How is that’s possible? Use Nestle Doll and Local Quality to make this impossible, possible
Nestle Doll: Put one object inside the other (Hang “ UNDER MAINTAINANCE” board around the flush tap)
Local Quality: Make the system around the object from uniform to non-uniform. Make others believe that the space is non-operational, by hanging “ UNDER MAINTAINANCE” board, thus making the available information content from uniform to non-uniform, which means while that someone knows the space is operational, others think it isn’t.
Now an honest confession to end this post…. that someone is not me. .
