Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Jun. 20, 2015)
A number of case studies published so far in different places are collected here to form 'A Collection of USIT Case Studies'. Individual case studies are described in full extent in a consistent format according to the USIT Manual , posted in a separate page. Through these case studies having their own different features, you can understand USIT as a consistent whole process having various aspects for application.
Please note that different kinds of creative problem solving methods can be understood in the new basic paradigm of the 'Six-Box Scheme' of CrePS/USIT. Thus a number of case studies originally carried out with some other methods than USIT (e.g., TRIZ and others) are also described in the 'Six-Box Scheme' and are shown as 'USIT case studies'. The source of the original work and the ways of solving in it are also cited in the present case studies.
In the description of individual case studies, some sub-steps which were skipped in the original references are inserted with newly described slides. My intention is to demonstrate how to use the USIT process as fully as possible for all these different case studies for users to understand USIT better. In the practical execution of USIT, it is rather important to use most effective sub-steps, by skipping some minor sub-steps just like in the original references, for the purpose of rapid and efficient problem solving required in the Real World projects.
The present page is an Index page of the case studies, showing the cases in a table. Detailed description of each case study is shown individually in an HTML page, where four slides (3 introduction slides and 1 overview summary slide in the 'Six-Box Scheme') are shown with images and a PDF file of the whole set of slides is posted.
At present 10 cases are documented in Japanese, while 5 of them are translated into English and posted here. I am going to describe some more case studies both in Japanese and in English in near future.
