Mars: TRIZ enables sustainable design of Bitesize Pouch
I am looking forward to enjoying a Cotswold Christmas with much music and delicious food with my family and friends. Minimising packaging while making chocolate accessible and attractive was one of my favourite TRIZ achievements. Trying TRIZ helped Mars create a brilliant, and universally copied, customer friendly design, which uses much less materials. Oxford TRIZ Function Maps and Trimming prompted how to cleverly improve the opening of their bite-sized packaging, increasing Ideality with fabulous accessible design which used less resource and significantly costs less.
Download the case study to learn how the TRIZ problem solving process works from start to finish. From using Function Mapping to understand the whole problem 'at a glance' to how Mars implemented their solution on an industrial scale for the mass market.
