RESOURCES, SOLUTIONS, AND IDEAL FINAL RESULT

Resources open gap Acceptable ideal final result

Contradiction appears Solutions close gap

Now we have a gap opening between the full use of all available resources and the ideal final result, so we can begin to close the gap and form a new ideal final result, where all resources are used to the full.

"Resources" are to be found almost anywhere in or around the "object" OR "system" we want to "improve."

Analysis of resources, used or idle, can indeed help with solution generation.

By system levels

"Tools" (machinery) and things generally that act on objects to affect them in some way.

"Objects" (materials) that are acted on by tools.

"Environmental" items (environment) surrounding the "system" or "tools" and "objects".

At the "macro" level,by "combining" parts or "elements" to form a "higher" state.

At the "micro" level, by "dividing" parts or "elements" to form new "sub entities."

Across system levels

"Entities" or "modified entities" - "objects" that cross "system" boundaries.

"Voids" (in TRIZ a void is "anything" more "rarefied" than its "surroundings").

"Interactions" (methods) or the "energy" that "drives" such interactions.

"Information" and "knowledge", skills and abilities (people).

"Features" or "properties", such as "form" or "shape" or "layout" (measurements).

"Space" and "time".

Others
"Harmful" entities
"Waste", by-products
"Error" and "failure", corrosion and decay.
