Application TRIZ Principles for Design and Manufacturing Coconut Cutting Machine

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper talks about the application of TRIZ principles (the Russian acronym for the "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”) in manufacturing coconut cutting machine with a semi-automatic feeder. This machine is used to cut coconuts for getting water and endosperm inside. By using TRIZ, a prototype of coconut cutting machine which is more efficient and profitable than manual cutting is designed and manufactured. The capacity of the machine is 720 coconuts/hour compared to 500 coconuts/hour by manual cutting. This prototype can also be used for further research into the manufacturing of coconut cutting machine.
