Santosh Jagtap

A network of problem solvers is an important part in the existing world where ideas and innovations drive a business, and thereby help the people in having a sustainable and happy life. I am an important node in this network of problem solvers.

Areas Santosh Jagtap is Knowledgeable in:

Product design, mechanical engineering, information and knowledge management

Techniques Santosh Jagtap Uses:

Associations, brainstorming, analogies, synectics, function analysis, morphological method, designing from physical effects, incubation, and intuition. These are some of the methods I use in problem solving, and I select and adapt or combine these methods depending on the nature of the problem.

Santosh Jagtap's Problem Solving Skills:

  1. Indistrial design, product design, policy design, information management, knowledge management

Santosh Jagtap's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. Designed a single piece nail-cutter. In contrary to conventional nail-cutters, this nail-cutter has just one part and can be made by injection molding with 'live hinge' and metal inserts.
  2. Solved a problem confronted by aero-engine designer and manufacturer. The company's new business model posed a problem of how use in-service information can be effectively used in a design task and how it can be structured. I designed and developed a scheme to capture and structure in-service information for engineering designers in this aerospace industry. I also developed a model of causality which is useful in effectively using in-service information in engineering design and in root cause analysis.
