Abstract

Ideality is one of the most powerful concepts of TRIZ. According to ideality, the ideal state of the system is where all its functions are achieved without causing any problem. The system is better, faster, low cost, low error, low maintenance and so on. In other words, an ideal system consists of all positives and no negatives.

An ideal product or system may not materially exist, or may not be possible to achieve, but the knowledge of the ideal system helps us to improve an existing system. Once we conceive the features of the ideal product (or system), we keep those features as the goal and try to improve the current product (or system) to achieve that goal. Even if an ideal system is impossible to achieve, the concept of an ideal system helps us to build the product of the next generation.
