The Resources heuristic is intended to guide a user in establishing resources that are already available in the system and its surroundings. It helps to reduce time and cost associated with improvement of existing products as well as with design of new artefacts and also to generate solution ideas that can be implemented with minimal effort.
Below is a video explanation of the Resources heuristics, presented by Professor Iouri Belski. This video takes about 16 minutes.
