HOW CAN

MORPHOLOGICAL
MATRIX
BE USED FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING?

 MEANING

Morphological Matrix is an idea

generation tool mainly utilized in
design projects. The individual or
group generates ideas by
considering the various
possibilities or variations in the
problem's characteristics.

Morphological matrix is a
technique in which different
alternatives are provided to a
business problem.

 STEP BY STEP CREATION OF
MORPHOLOGICAL MATRIX:

STEP 1: As usual like any problem-

solving approach, the first step is
to define the problem in a precise
way.

STEP 2: The outcome of this
phase is to identify what is
essential for solving the problem.
To solve the problem, it is to be
divided into different dimensions,
further leading to potential
parameters to solve the problem.

STEP 3: There are more options
which are directly related to a
number of Functions. Another key
component in this phase is
creativity.

STEP 4: By making random
combinations, many solutions
may be applied. Further, a
Morphological Chart or
Morphological Overview can be
made, visualised as a matrix.

STEP 5: In this phase, possible
solutions should be evaluated. If a
solution is inconsistent or
unusable, then a cross will appear
in the appropriate field of the
matrix. That solution is excluded.

STEP 6: In this final phase,
the identified solution is to
be implemented.
