Use for Venn diagrams

A common use of Venn diagrams is to divide the world -- the universe of all elements -- into mutually exclusive sets

However, care should be exercised to not go overboard in searching for design options

Number

FFBDs are often done for completenessThere is one set of FFBDs for each productEach set of FFBDs covers the product and

parts of the next lower productsThere can be a very large number of blocks in

a functional architecture


3. Ideas 24

Relationships among blocksMore than one block within an FFBD may point

at the same block in the next lower levelA block may point to more than one block in

the next level downOccasionally, blocks may point at another

block across several levelsMost flow is downward, but upward is possible


3. Ideas 25

ConventionsBlocks contain a function numberEach block begins and ends with a

reference designatorReference designator for first block in a

string is the source blockAn “and” gate indicates parallel functionsAn “or” gate indicates alternate functionsEach block is performed by a single actor


3. Ideas 26

Tools

Tools exist for drawing FFBDsIntegrated Definition for Function

Modeling (IDEF0) is a more rigorous form of FFBDs, and a tool exist for drawing IDEF0

From Strategies for Creative Problem Solving by Fogler and LeBlanc


3. Ideas 29

Present state/desired state (1 of 4)

Definition -- A method for defining the problem distinctly in a way that suggests solutions

Method• State the present state and the desired state• Reword the present state and the desired state

until both states are expressed in the same words, and the desired state is a simple step from the present state


3. Ideas 30


Problem: During WW II, many bombers were shot down. Many of the bombers that returned to base were full of holes, and the pattern of holes was similar among bombers

Initial solution: Reinforce the area of holes with more armor


3. Ideas 31


Original wording• Present state: Many holes in bombers• Desired state: Fewer bombers lost

Rewording 1• Present state: Many holes in bombers• Desired state: Fewer holes

Rewording 2• Present state: Many holes in critical areas• Desired state: Fewer holes in critical areas


3. Ideas 32


Suggested solutions: • Protect critical areas• Make areas less critical


3. Ideas 33

3. Ideas 35


Problem -- Many holes in critical areas• Reduce number of holes

• Reduce the number of holes– Add armor

• Reduce number of hits– Increase effectiveness of defensive guns– Increase number of defensive guns– Increase speed– Fly faster– Fly higher– Fly at night– Use fighter escorts


3. Ideas 36


• Reduce number of holes (continued)• Reduce the number of areas

– Consolidate equipment into small area

• Reduce the size of areas– Consolidate equipment into fewer areas

• Reduce the location of areas– Move equipment to areas that receive fewer

holes


3. Ideas 37


• OK not to reduce number of holes• Survive despite holes

– Improve survivability of equipment

• Reduce criticality– Add redundancy


3. Ideas 38

Statement -- restatement (1 of 5)

Definition -- A problem-solving method in which the problem is restated in different forms a number of times to trigger new ideas


3. Ideas 39


Triggers • 1. Vary the stress pattern on words in the

problem statement• 2. Replace words with their explicit definition• 3. Make an opposite statement, change

positives to negatives, and vice versa• 4. Change “every” to “some,” “always” to

“sometime,” “sometimes” to “never,” and vice versa


3. Ideas 40


Triggers (continued)• 5. Replace persuasive words in the

problem statement such as “obviously,” “clearly”, and “certainly,” with the argument it’s supposed to be replacing

• 6. Express words in the form of text, an equation, or a picture

• Reference --Strategies for Creative Problem Solving


3. Ideas 41


Example -- Many holes in critical areasTrigger 1

• Many holes in critical areas• Reduce the number of holes

• Many holes in critical areas• Reduce the likelihood that a hit will cause a hole

• Many holes in critical areas• Make things less critical

• Many holes in critical areas• Reduce number of areas


3. Ideas 42


Trigger 2• Many penetrations through the skin in

critical areasTrigger 3

• Increase number of holes in critical areas

Trigger 4• All holes in critical areas

Trigger 5• Obviously we want to reduce the

number of holes• Is it OK to have holes?

3. Ideas 43

Osborn’s checklist (1 of 5)

Definition -- A method for generating additional ideas from ideas already obtained


3. Ideas 44

Osborn’s checklist (2 of 5)Osborn’s list for creating new ideas

• 1. Adapt?• How can this product or idea be used as is?

What are other uses it could be adapted to

• 2. Modify?• Change the meaning, material, color, shape,

odor, etc

• 3. Magnify?• Add new ingredient Make longer, stronger,

thicker, higher


3. Ideas 45


Osborn’s list (continued)• 4. Minify?

• Spit up. Take something out. Make lighter, lower, shorter

• 5. Substitute?• Who else, where else, what else. Other

ingredients, material, or approach

• 6. Rearrange?• Interchange parts. Other patterns, layouts.

Transpose cause and effect. Change positives to negatives. Reverse roles. Turn backwards or upside down. Sort


3. Ideas 46


Osborn’s list (continued)• Combine

• Combine parts. Units, idea. Blend. Compromise. Combine from different categories


3. Ideas 47


Example• 1. Adapt -- bomber to fighter• 2. Modify -- bottom turret to top• 3. Magnify -- more guns• 4. Minify -- fewer and smaller critical areas• 5. Substitute -- substitute armor for skin• 6. Rearrange -- offset side gunners• 7. Combine -- larger engines


3. Ideas 48

Random word stimulation

Definition -- A method for generating ideas when brainstorming is stuck in a rut

Method -- Choose a word at random and see if the word stimulates an idea

Example• Random word -- quack• Quack suggests -- duck• Duck suggests -- goose• Goose suggests -- formation• Formation suggests -- fly in groups
