The Combination Framework of the MCE Model — Combining the Perspectives of Poincaré and Schumpeter
- The Combination framework in the MCE model combines Poincaré's idea of creativity through new combinations with Schumpeter's innovation theory through new combinations.
- The framework involves five steps, starting with Current Status Analysis to understand the components of a system or product.
- Alternatives are then generated for each element, encouraging innovative ideas beyond traditional concepts.
- System Synthesis involves combining all alternative options for each component to explore every possible combination pattern.
- System Analysis evaluates these combinations using flexible criteria aligned with Schumpeter's innovation concept.
- R&D perspectives are integrated into the System Analysis phase, enhancing the feasibility of ideas and fostering competitive advantage.
- Failure Analysis is conducted to anticipate potential risks and causes of failure for promising candidates, with 20 to 100 failure points listed for each proposal.
- The MCE model in Toyota's Product Development System emphasizes insights over technological seeds, influencing the timing and role of R&D in product development.
- Poincaré's unconscious combination and Schumpeter's new combination are distinguished in their theories of creative insight and deliberate economic recombination, respectively.
- The structured approach of the MCE model integrates both perspectives to stimulate creative and executable solutions guided by mission.
