The document describes the development of a new umbrella cover designed to be hassle-free and drip-free. It absorbs water quickly using a synthetic chamois layer within a nylon and plastic casing. Early prototypes sold well through informal surveys and online pre-orders. The founders seek funding to produce an initial run of 500 covers at $8 each to establish the business and repay loans with 10% interest plus a share of profits within 3 months.
The team proposes a solution called "Stack Up Potatoes" to address poor soil conditions, lack of livelihood, and unused land in Kampung Teri. The method involves stacking and planting potatoes in recycled materials like tires or containers, which allows potatoes to be harvested within a month without needing much land or construction. It utilizes available resources like fertilizer and ignores soil quality issues, providing a cheap and easy way for villagers to start generating income through potato sales and use of the harvested potatoes. The team plans to experiment with different potato varieties and conditions to refine the method before creating awareness of and fundraising for the project.
1) The document discusses a plan to grow sweet potatoes in tropical climates like Malaysia and Singapore using vines rather than tubers.
2) A sweet potato farmer approved of the plan and suggested using vines, which have a much lower attrition rate and grow faster than using tubers.
3) The document outlines the growing process over 100 days and prototypes for growing sweet potato vines, as well as lessons learned about the ease of growing potatoes and farmers' willingness to try without an initial investment.
The document outlines a business plan for an umbrella cover company. It proposes introducing the product through high-profile events to generate interest and exclusivity. It then suggests testing the market in upscale stores while maintaining a classy image. Finally, it plans to capture the mass market by selling basic covers in supermarkets but promoting customization. The goal is to avoid direct competition between product tiers and sustain demand over time.
The document presents a self-customizable water bottle that allows users to attach various compartments like stationery holders, card holders, and pill compartments. The bottle prototype uses a LEGO-inspired design that enables easy attachment and detachment of the compartments. Market research was conducted among 50 students and indicated potential for commercial success. The business plan projects annual revenue of $75,000 and operating profit of $20,000 from selling 5000 bottles at $15 each. Ongoing development of new compartment types could provide sustainable competitive advantage over time.

This document discusses an approach to bootstrapping new product development without significant initial investment. It emphasizes starting with the customer's problem and value proposition, rather than a product idea. Potential personas are brainstormed and scored to identify a beachhead segment that is accessible, can be dominated, and is large but not too large. Key assumptions are defined and success metrics and criteria are outlined to test hypotheses through an experimental process with a defined budget.
Let me try to answer these questions:
1. In engineering, the design process will takes the form of an iterative process?
2. In product design, time consideration and effort is invested in listening to “voice of the customer”.
3. Engineering characteristic are discovered through:
1. Benchmarking competing products
2. Performing market research
3. Technical requirements
4. HOQ is the 1st step in QFD and is the most used in product design.

So, to fix it. We think the ideal umbrella cover should be hassle free, and definitely drip free!But…….. We still have to keep it functional, otherwise it won’t be a cover right? Compact and convenient, otherwise you’ll be fighting another monster right? And definitely, not make it look “weird”! Otherwise who would want to carry it, right? And so we went, creating our first prototype!
I’ll now talk about our product development process.If you remember 3 weeks ago, we unveiled prototype 1, but it was not very well received because it looked like any other umbrella cover. Also, the drawstring around the top did not help much with sealing the water in.
During the same presentation, we also unveiled Prototype 2, which captured our biggest selling point of our product, the wrap-around design. Some test samples were sent out to several friends and we had some feedback after they used it for around a week. Most said that they were happy with the functionality of sealing the water in, but 1 in particular mentioned that she was still unconvinced that the chamois was able to prevent water from completely seeping through.
Hence, we address that problem by doubling the chamois layer inside the product, adding an additional plastic layer to allay any fears. Also, we changed lids to a circular shape so that they will fit umbrella bodies better.We took these prototypes and began our first- stage selling. We produced 10, asked 20 people and sold 2 on Saturday. Those who are not willing to buy gave us some precious feedback. Mainly, they prefer a darker color cover and some girls want some special designs. One also said that adding the school logo would make a good school umbrella.We improved upon it again and what you see on our hands is the final product.
Our solution to the pain comes in 2 categories. Prevent drips and a user-friendly design.In preventing drips, we have synthetic chamois layers to help with absorbing water. Chamois absorbs water 3 times faster and at 50% more in quantity compared to regular towels or cloth. Also, chamois is a tough material and is quite resistant to accidental tears and rips.Also, our product is designed to be hassle free. We come up with the wrap-around design to help users from squeezing or fighting there umbrellas(Our wrap-around design ensures users no longer have to “fight” with their covers) and helps keep the water within the covers. Lastly, with the velcro linings, users will find it easier and faster to pack their umbrellas in their bag.
During the course of the past week, we approached several hotels and companies to get them interested in our product as a corporate gift. To our surprise, one company actually replied positively: Lexical Private Limited. They didn’t say anything about buying any, but we’re extremely encouraged that they’re willing to accommodate us for a short demonstration.
Also, we are experimenting with having our product put up on eBay to see if we could tap into the online market.
And… after talking to Prof yesterday afternoon, we decided to take his advice, throw caution to the wind and see how crazy we can get!From the 2 prototypes that we sold on Saturday, we’ve increased our sale all the way up to a total of 16 as of this presentation. And all that is done just by showing and explaining how our product worked.

To help explain our revenue and profit plan, we have this graph. As time passes, cost of production will decrease as we find better manufacturers or increase production efficiency and volume. By not lowering our retail price in the same magnitude as cost of production, we cause our profit margin to increase gradually. However, since the profit margin is unlikely to ever increase too drastically, we able to prevent new entrants.

So now, the big question original, creative and innovative?Well, for starters, we managed to merge a new development into a very traditional set piece, and gave it a totally new functionality. 2nd, and our product’s biggest selling point. We created an entirely new approach to covering an umbrella. Instead of squeezing it into a bag, you now wrap it up like a burrito.
But the big question is, why invest?So, let’s talk about money! With no need for machines or expensive moulds, readily and cheaply available materials, and no complicated supply chain, our start up cost is so low, we almost literally break even the second we complete a sale.2nd, everyone has at least 1 umbrella, if not 2 or 3 each. And nothing so far, compares with our product in terms of practicality and convenience
Next, we move on to returns. I like to think our offer is really good. You loan us an amount enough to cover production cost of fulfilling or completing a contract. We then prioritize to repay you with an extra 10% interest and 5% share of any profit, all within the space of 3 months. I don’t even think the stock markets and fixed deposits can do better.Of course, there are risks to consider. But we assure you that our retail strategy of forcing competitors to accept a very low profit margin is going to complicate and discourage them so much, we will get market domination even before they can push their first product out.Lastly, in previous slides, we already have a very good response from actual, genuine and real buyers and corporate clients. I mean, we even managed to sell our prototypes before this presentation.But the real cheese in our business plan came yesterday afternoon.
Probably the biggest breakthrough we ever had. Zhi Fan found a tailor who was willing to produce our covers at $2 each.Bringing our production cost down to $5.If you look at the graphs in particular the red and purple bars. The one on the left shows our pricing when we’re dependent on a design firm.But now, when we got a tailor to produce the covers for us, our production cost decreased by half and profits multiplied by 4. When we eventually, do get a manufacturing firm to mass produce the covers for us, there’s still a 50% increase in profits to be had.
But that’s with selling the covers as a package. Eventually we do hope to sell covers individually so consumers are able to customize their umbrellas according to their moods.And with similar trends in profits here, we definitely have a lot of leeway in choosing between quick expansion both locally and globally, or giving any competitor and new entrant a price war that they’ll never survive.
