Abstract
The purpose of this work was to formulate a novel method of problem definition and to apply this method as an extended version of the System Operator. In TRIZ, System Operator is used to describing context of the problem in time and space, which is of vital importance in many problem-solving approaches and forecasting applications. However, this known method concentrates on a single technical system and its alternatives and does not take into account other systems, that directly interact with each other. The proposed approach takes into consideration not only sub- and supersystems in the past and future but also the outcome of the problem and phenomena occurring in relation to the identified problem. The method is organized in a systematic way through a dedicated diagram and also utilizes a heuristic approach to identify and describe the context of a problem. The proposed method was applied to identify drivers and barriers to the development of vehicles and biogas distribution solutions. It was shown, that the proposed approach represents a significant and novel development of a System Operator that improves problem definition in the problem-solving approach.
