Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a personnel rating system using a holistic approach is used, then the evaluation process is simple and easy to understand, but the evaluation results lack objectivity and consistency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of evaluation processVSAvoidobjectivity and consistency of evaluation results
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the holistic rating into multiple discrete components (e.g., knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors) that can be evaluated separately using standardized criteria. This allows the system to maintain the simplicity of a unified rating while achieving objectivity through structured breakdown of evaluation dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the subjective holistic assessment into objective measurements by defining specific parameters and metrics for each evaluation dimension. This includes establishing standardized scales, weighted criteria, and quantifiable indicators that convert qualitative judgments into consistent, comparable data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If a personnel rating system using analytical approach with multiple criteria is used, then the evaluation results are more objective and consistent, but the evaluation process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobjectivity and consistency of evaluation resultsVSAvoidsimplicity of evaluation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal evaluation framework that can be applied across different roles, departments, and evaluation contexts. The standardized criteria and structured process serve multiple functions simultaneously: ensuring objectivity, maintaining consistency, and enabling automated processing through computer implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual, complex analytical evaluation with computer-based automated processing. The system uses software to manage multiple criteria, calculate weighted scores, and generate evaluation results, thereby reducing the time and effort required while maintaining the rigor of multi-criteria assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of manufacture

If traditional personnel rating methods are used, then the system is easy to implement, but it cannot effectively evaluate employee performance in modern business environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of system implementationVSAvoideffectiveness in modern business environment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic evaluation system that can adapt to changing business requirements and modern work environments. The framework allows for flexible configuration of evaluation criteria, weights, and dimensions to match specific organizational needs, while maintaining a structured approach that ensures consistent implementation across the organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
