Modern problem-solving techniques have enabled the lives of engineers to find better solutions even for the most complex problems in the most innovative way. One such technology widely being used in the modern automotive industry is TRIZ, a Russian acronym for the "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, The main objective of this study is to find an optimum solution to enhance the life of a 2.2-liter automotive diesel engine which has faced challenges of extinction due to the system technology upgrades that happened on Fuel Injection System. It has become a mandate to find an innovative solution that helps to improve performance and efficiency and to reduce cost, weight, size, complexity and manufacturability. With the help of detailed Functional analysis, Cause and Effect Chain analysis, absolute analysis was done in selecting the optimum FIE System for the engine application.
