Notice Title

RSSB2464 - Application and training of the TRIZ methodology for analysing key challenges in the rail industry

Notice Description

Application and training of the TRIZ methodology for analysing key challenges in the rail industry 1 Background and context RSSB manages the cross-industry R&D programme on behalf of the rail industry. The Knowledge Analysis Team (KAT) supports the R&D programme by gathering information to find answers and solutions that already exist, avoid duplication, and focus the research efforts in the most promising areas. The team also has horizon scanning and technology watch capabilities. The aspiration of these is to be able to 'gaze into the future' and identify future changes and opportunities for the industry. In the past, TRIZ based problem solving and forecasting tools have been used and have delivered valuable outcomes. All our outputs need to consolidate the information and make it accessible to senior cross-industry groups such as the Technical Strategy Leadership Group. 2 Aims of the work The intention is to use this work to: * Provide an opportunity for the KAT team and others in analytical roles (between 6 and 8 people in total) to be trained in the TRIZ-based analytical approach used and to work alongside the supplier team on the above challenges/opportunities, being able to compare notes at critical points in the process. * Apply the TRIZ based problem solving and forecasting approach to deliver conceptual solutions, ranging from short term ones to long term ones, to address rail industry challenges 3 Expected timescales and delivery The service provision is for 2017. RSSB may opt to repeat this in 2018 and 2019, after positive review of the work delivered, based on objective success criteria agreed with the supplier before the start of the work packages. The work is expected to begin in January/February 2017 and be delivered over the following 3 to 4 months. 4 Deliverables The supplier is expected to deliver: * TRIZ Training and associated materials for problem solving and for horizon scanning. * One report in 2017 (jointly delivered with the Knowledge Analysis team), addressing the following industry challenge: o Future suspension systems for rolling stock This report will outline a range of possible conceptual solutions, including short terms and long term ones. The report should also include a clear logic and rationale of why any solution is suggested and their relevance to rail. RSSB Knowledge Team members attending the course are expected to contribute to the reports as part of the training and development. * Four additional reports may be commissioned between 2018 and 2019 if the exercise is reconducted. ( The aforementioned four additional reports are subject to the previously mentioned extension options being actioned by RSSB as the authority). 5 Scope of work The methodology used * Should be grounded in a rational process and underpinned by a robust TRIZ theoretical foundation. * Should not require ad
