2.0 Company Background
S&R Casing was started by three mechanical engineering students with the idea of giving
a better way to deliver clean and affordable energy. S&R Casing Company plan to establish
in 2016, sooner or later will plan to become the Malaysias largest solar casing provider.
We are just getting started.

Statistics shows that Malaysia has a high mobile penetration. This has caused huge
electricity consumption from Malaysia which is not sustainable and hence, we are trying
to make a change. For all solar energy you have collected, the solar casing will convert it
to electrical energy that can store in the battery. It's how S&R Casing can make a difference
and save the energy in the world.

S&R Casing is Malaysia's first solar power provider for smartphones and tablets. We make
green energy available to students, workers, homeowners, and organizations than they pay
for electrical energy which were generated by fossil fuels or oil and gas. Our approach is
to design a solar casing that can fit into common smartphones by using high quality plastic
and solar panels. Subsequently, we will transform the way energy is delivered by giving
our customers a greener and affordable alternative way to charge up their devices.

S&R Casing makes it easy for customers to utilize the solar energy. Solar energy is
completely free and reliable energy which you can obtain when you are exposed to light.
You can use normal electricity if you like on your devices because we do not speedy
electrical charging though it is more feasible. We are striving to provide customer the best
quality we can give and the most reliable sales service we can run.

3.0 Introduction of Product and Technology

The product produced by the company is confirmed to be unique to the current market as
there are several special characteristic of the case. The difference between the current case
for devices and the one produced by S & R Case is that it uses the latest technology to get
the devices charged by using solar energy. The case will be installed with the solar panel
either at the front part or the back part of the case; this is completely depends on the design
of each case produced.
The materials used to manufacture the product will be the recycled contents. Hence, all the
case produced by the company will be recyclable. This is to reduce the wasted materials or
reduce the carbon footprint in the world through reuse and recycle trash. Notwithstanding
it is manufactured with recycled materials, but it will be very durable as compared to
existing case. Since there is solar panel installed on the case, it has been designed to be
water proof.

P a g e 6 | 56
The case produced by the company is unique in term of design as well. The case produced
is confirmed to be many kinds. This is to increase the preferences to customers so that they
can choose the perfect one that suit to their style.

4.0 Market Analysis

4.1 S&R Casing and Similar Product
S&R Casing is a cover of devices that functions not merely to protect the devices from
being cracked, however it is equipped with latest technology that bring convenient to life.
Unlike other existing devices in the market, the main purpose of people buying the case for
their device is only to protect the device and nothing else.

In present, there are many solar power charging

gadgets such as solar power bank and solar power
S&R Casing
bag. Even there are some product similar to S&R
Casing in the current market, but no matter how Protection of devices
similar it externally looks like, there are some Equipped with Solar Charging

longer use it. In short, the company will always put Almost similar design
the consideration of green product to the priority. Not recyclable

Moreover, the design of the company product will be a lot so that the customer can find
the suitable one. Unlike the current case that sold in the market, all the devices case are
majority similar and just a bit different from design and color.

Even though there are some similar case in the foreign market that uses solar power for
charging, but they are not recyclable and their charging speed is quite slow. The company
product has make improvement to this aspect to slightly increase the charging speed. In
today technology, there is the limitation to the ability of solar panel to convert sunlight to
electricity, so, the charging speed cant be increase too much. But, the solar case may still
useful especially during emergency when there is no power supply for you to charge the
device.

4.2 Market size
Every customers are our potential customer regardless of poor or rich. There are several
categories of our product; different category will have different price range. Therefore,
customers can purchase based on their affordable price.
In order to increase the profit and to achieve the break-even point earlier, our company has
targeted certain groups of customer such as students and professional members. Normally,
students whose are from secondary school or university are more interested on the new
technology and try something new, and this lead us to focus on this group. Furthermore,
professional members are targeted due to the reason of insufficient of battery during
working hour.
With the help of government to promote renewable energy, more and more people will
consider to use the green energy to confront the depletion of non-renewable energy
resources. Some business man and women are using mobile phones and tablet every hour,
hence S&R Casing is the best choice to helps them counter the high electricity consumption.

4.3 Target Market

The size of the target market shall be large in Malaysia, especially in the capital city which
has high population. In order to ensure the product effectiveness to our target market, we
have researched for the local demographic. The demographic criteria are such as age,
income, occupation and education. These criteria shows that our target market will be
willing to understand our product and most of them are able to afford our product.

4.4 Target Customers

S&R Casing is very simple to use and suitable to all people regardless of the age a person
be. The target shall be majority from the University students, secondary students,

reputation
Choosing the right strategy is critical to ensure the successfulness of the running business.
The correct and under planed strategy will lead the company to long term success; however
the short view and un-proper planning will make the company facing bankrupt or merely
short-term success. For S & R Case Company, we will first plan to start our business in
P a g e 8 | 56
local market. The reason is that, the product seems to be latest technology and innovative
as compared to the existing product in local market. As from the research to the current
tablet case or any other type of devices case in Malaysia, all of them are designed to be one
function only which is to protect the devices from being crashed. The company will start
the business in the big city of East Malaysia then extend until West Malaysia. This is to get
the firm reputation in the local land before venture to west Malaysia as well as foreign
country. The target of the company is to extend the market to Asia Pacific and then to
western country after the company has grown larger and reputed.

The company will form alliances with other company. There are four advantages to form
alliance with other company, such as, organizational advantages, economic advantages,
strategic advantages and political advantages. For the organizational advantages, the
company can learn more necessary skills and receive same capabilities from strategic
partner. Since the company is newly established, it is important to have strategic partner
which is reputed or well-known as they will add creditability and legitimacy to companys
venture. The economic advantage is that the company can reduce the risks and costs of the
business. This is because the costs and risks are distributed across each member of alliance.
Notwithstanding, the strategic advantages of forming alliance is another important as it will
assist the company more in the future. The S&R Casing Company will not compete with
the rivals of the market, corporate with them instead. This may very useful to create
competitive advantages by the resources and skills. Through strategic alliances, it also
helps the company in the future business opportunities and develops more challenging
products and technologies. (StravCORP, 2015)

Furthermore, the company will use the direct export to enter the market of other country.
Exporting is the most preferred entry strategy by companies to enter the international
market. Basically, it requires both agent and distributor to sell the product to foreign
country. The company will use the direct export to increase the profit of the company. In
the first stage, the company will explore the potential of the business in certain country in
order to reduce the risk of investment. After that, the company looks for few agent to sell
the product into the foreign market.

P a g e 9 | 56
5.2.1 Retail and direct selling

Since S&R Casing product will be targets in Malaysia and foreign country, the location
setup in Kuching is highly feasible since Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak State in
Malaysia. There is Boulevard Mall and Wisma Saberkas nearby which are selling hi-tech

6.0 Competitive Analysis
6.1 SWOT of S&R Casing Company
6.1.1 Strength
The demands of electricity for smart devices are getting higher and higher nowadays. The
solar casing not only charge up the devices of the user, but also promotes the use of green
technology which can help to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy resources.
It becomes a good helper to reduce electricity consumption either at home, at office or at
school. Since solar casing does not require electricity to operate, it is convenient to bring
to outdoor.

6.1.2 Weakness
The manufacturing cost of solar casing will be a higher than the normal casing. Besides,
the thickness of solar casing will be thicker than the normal casing as there is battery
embedded in the solar casing. The solar casing will also take a long time to recharge the
user devices. Furthermore, there are also some customers that might not be confident to try
out new type product. Hence, it may cause the customer to make further consideration
before buying this product.

6.1.3Opportunity
The opportunity on the local market is high because there are none of the similar product
exists in the local market. Since this product is still new in Malaysia, S&R Casing can
target the local customer by introducing the product with strong advertisement. The
opportunity on the international market is also high because green product is popular in
many foreign countries. Although the casing is designed for all range of people, traveler
and backpacker find that it is extremely helpful to charge their devices since the casing can
be independent from the electric socket.

6.1.4 Threat
S&R Casing have many strong competitors because the pricing of solar case is higher than
the normal casing. This situation caused S&R Casing need to face intense competition from
other competitor in current market. Some company will also try to sell the same products
from S&R Casing to the market. As a result, S&R Casing will conduct research and
development in future to further improve all the casing products and apply for independent
intellectual property rights.

6.2 Porters Five Forces

6.2.1 Threat of new entrants
P a g e 12 | 56
S&R Casing have a high threat from newly established companies because solar casing is
a good potential product that can enter the market as it is green and convenient. Other
companies might also start to sell for renewable energy solar casing after S&R Casing has
successfully entered the market. This will cause a threat to the S&R Solar Casing. However,
there is some barrier to entrances since the licensing requirement for solar casing is tedious.

6.2.2 Threat of substitutes

The threat of substitutes for S&R Casing is low because the demand of electricity for smart
phone and tablets is very higher. However, scientist and engineer are making effort to
research for new type of renewable energy. The advancement of technology might produce
a new type of alternative energy that is more feasible than a solar panel to supply the current
for electronic devices.

6.2.3 Bargaining power of suppliers

The bargaining power of suppliers is high because the solar panel is brought from supplier.
The overall cost of products from S&R Casing will be affected if the suppliers choose not
to supply certain materials to S&R Casing. Although S&R Casing relies on certain supplier,
S&R Casing will always look for suppliers that can provide material that is low cost with
high quality product.

6.2.4 Bargaining power of buyers

The bargaining power of buyers is moderate. Customers have a large number of options
when choosing casing for smart devices. Some buyers are price sensitive that they will
ignore the benefits and function from solar casing and just buy whatever casing based on
the price. Although solar casing provides a good solution against electricity consumption,
customers may prefer for a casing which is lighter and thinner. Therefore, customers have
a good bargain power in terms of buying preferences and demand.

6.2.5 Rivalry among competitors

S&R Casing have moderate rivalry among existing firm. The solar casing has a high degree
of differentiation of the product with other competitor. The competitive of this solar casing
can be high if the awareness of alternative energy is widely known. On the other hand, the
competitiveness of solar casing can be low if the people tend to stick with the original
casing. The product differentiation is very important to make solar casing outstanding and
attract customer.

6.3 Physical and Service Aspect

6.3.1 Physical aspect

P a g e 13 | 56
S&R Casing Company produces a new generation of solar casing series which is
compatible with a variety kind of device that is available in the market. The solar casing is
designed to have a solar panel that is able to fit into a plastic case which is made up of PET.
The solar panel is interchangeability from the case so that the customer can choose to buy
the case individually without the solar panel. The products designed from S&R Casing
adopt human factor, which means humanized design. The wall of the solar casing is a
plastic material that it can act as an insulator to protect the leakage of current to the user.
Besides, the surface of the casing is also easy to clean. It is designed to be able to sustain a
considerable amount of temperature that the user might face in daily life. The solar casing
has embedded a high quality Lithium-ion batteries and a protection circuit to prevent the
casing from overcharging, over discharge and short-circuit. The battery of solar casing not
only can be charged up by sunlight, but also the light from indoor fluorescent bulb. It is so
versatile that the casing can be recharged overnight by the indoor light. So when the user
wakes up in the morning, the user can actually see that their devices have been charged up
without using the electricity from their socket. One of the important factors is that S&R
Casing has considered the sustainability life cycle of the solar casing which helps in
reducing the impacts on the environment. With the help of modern sustainability tools, life
cycle assessment can be performed on solar casing to account for environmental
conservation. Although the charging time for the solar casing may not be as fast as expected,
solar energy is always a better choice compared to the use of normal electricity since it is
more environmentally friendly.

7.0 Operating Plan
7.1 Characteristics of business location

The most important thing that comes in our mind and to be concerned when we talked
about business no matter in which century, is choosing the right and strategic location for
the business, to ensure the business to be well-established. That is a place where consumers
can access easily to our products and services; a place where can be easily seen; a place
where is very accessible for transportation and communication from anywhere; and for
sustainable business, it should be a place where allowed to be able to expand in future time.
These can be very challenging characteristics to look for the place based on overview of
that place and area through a long period.

As the business grows, it might need more space to establish our business, to cater for the
needs of consumers and our business, as it could happen after some times, that is why we
should concern about.

In addition, we have considered about the demand in the area. At the beginning, we
mentioned about the strategic location, if our business cannot fit into that area regarding to
our products and services, all the things we have done in vain. And therefore we must
ensure that our products and services can satisfy needs of people.

Moreover, as we are into manufacturing business, supply and market price of raw materials
are used in manufacturing processes that are mainly concerned, acts as the important
factors to save the costs. Therefore, it is good that we are able to find those materials from
nearby area.

7.2 Specification of the factory

A factory typically consisting of buildings and machinery where workers manufacture

products. For starting this business, it requires heavy investment around 2.5 million ringgit
for setting up the factory, getting the required machinery and recruiting staff. Below shows
the plan.

Flowchart: Production Process of S&R Casing

The production process of S&R Casing consists of eight stations. Firstly, plastics and solar
panels that purchased from the supplier are to be inspected by IQC Inspector from work
station 1. If the requirement of the specification is not met, the materials from the supplier
will be rejected by S&R Casing. Accepted materials will be kept in a warehouse to prepare
for the use in production line. Workstation 3 will require a Plastic Material Sorting Machine
to crush, separates and sort plastics. After the process is done, the scrap plastics will need
to put into a Plastic Injection Moulding Machine to form the shape of solar casing. This
will be done in Workstation 4. Thereafter, the required equipment to use is Coordinate
Measuring Machine which will be operating by IPQC Inspector to check for the required
specification of the solar casing. If the requirements are not met; the casing will be sent
back to the production line to redo the process. Accepted casing will be outsourced to sub-

P a g e 22 | 56
contractor to paint the casing. Lastly, OQC Inspector will be checking the solar casings
that have painted. Finished products are ready to be delivering to customer. Workstation 8
is the logistic department which used up some space from warehouse to keep the finalized
products. Authorized personnel work in the warehouse is required to handle inventory
management, products preservation and goods shipping. On the other hand, S&R Casing
is planned to have at some of the basic facilities such as office, meeting room, production
area, warehouse, canteen and public restroom. Expansion of facilities is expected in the
future depends on the scope and manpower of S&R Casing.

7.8 Process Strategy

There are four types of process strategies which are process focus, repetitive focus, product
focus and mass customization focus. ()Through these strategies, the company will be able
to know how to produce a product or provide a service that will meet or exceed the
requirement of customers as well as to meet cost and managerial goals. These processes
will have long term effect in aspect of efficiency and production flexibility, quality and
cost.

In order to meet the demands of customers, S&R Casing Company will use the mass
customization strategy. In Malaysia, there are no sellers who sell the product that
completely similar to our company which has extra function of solar charging ability.
However, there are plenty brands of normal casing that made by various company can be
found in the local market. In a sense that, the variety and volume of the normal casing that
can be found from the market is extremely high. So, our company decided to apply mass
customization strategy in order to produce high volume and variety products since it is still
not exist in market. As for the variety of product, our company decided to produce the
casing that not only being unique in term of solar charging, however, extra function will
be installed to the casing. Besides, the casings will be variety in terms of design as well.
All customers have their own favorite design and this mostly differed due to personal style,
behavior, jobs and ages. As for a business man, the design must not be too flower or
cartooned as they have to be very formal and looks professional within business time.
Furthermore, our company will also considered the economy ability of customers as not all
customers are able to afford the price of casing. S&R Casing Company has decide to design
out a very simple casing with as low price as possible to this group of customers.
Notwithstanding, our company casing will always guaranteed with the quality of product
and the price will never affect the quality. In shorts, there will be variety of design to be
produced by the company in order to suit the majority customers needs.

7.9 Levels of Production

There are three kind of production levels which are subsistence, domestic production and
surplus or export. As for the S&R Casing Company, the production level will be kind of

P a g e 23 | 56
domestic production. Domestic production is that the production is more than survival level.
It provides product that only meet the demands of local market and is insufficient for
exporting. This production level is preferred because our product is currently exist in
foreign country so it is not suitable to have surplus or export level of production. However,
this might happen once our company product has gain trust or has attractive unique features
as compared to foreign company, S&R Company will considering the export level of
production.

7.10 Made or Buy

For the production of casing, S&R
Casing Company prefers to buy the
materials. For the PET manufacturing
process, our company will buy the
machines to convert the used PET
bottle into flakes then manufacture it
into new casing through injection
molding process. The rest of the part
will be directly buy from other company. The parts are such as solar panel, battery and RE-
case. Even though our company has manufacture own casing but the company still
cooperate with another company to provide the casing that manufactured by recycled
material. As stated before, the company will import the casing from Miniwiz Co. Ltd which
located in Taiwan. The casing that manufactured by Miniwiz Company is made of PET
bottle and rice husk. Hence, the casings produced will have different appearance as our
companys casing. Furthermore it is made of 100% recycled content which has meet the
target and initial goal of our company. So, our company will import several size of casing
which will be suited to various kind of devices, then install the solar panel on the casing.

7.11 Quality Control

The objective of quality control is mainly to ensure products produced by the company
must always meet the standard that has been set. Without quality control, the product
produced by any company might cause bad consequences when it reached to product user.
It can be un-durable, short useful time or products safety issues. In order to ensure all the
products produced by the company are in perfect quality, certain quality control procedures
have been taken.

There are three processes of quality control that have been used by the company which are
as below:

P a g e 24 | 56
 Incoming In- Process Outgoing
Quality Quality Quality
Control Control Assuarance
(IQC) (IPQC) (OQA)

7.11.1 Incoming Quality Control (IQC)

Incoming quality control process is to conduct inspection and quality issues of product
before proceed to assembly. Our company doesnt create own solar panel, so, all the solar
panel are imported from the supplier which is China Blue Solar Company. All the products
from supplier are identified and checked under strict condition in order to establish and
maintain the quality standards. For example, the quality control inspector of the company
will inspect whether the solar panel from supplier has meet the quality and safety standard
specified in the purchasing documentation. This processes are assisted by using the
advanced inspecting instruments in company. In addition, the S&R Company also
imported the RE- Case from the Miniwiz Company. For the quality control, same process
is applied on the product as well.

7.11.2 In-Process Quality Control (IPQC)

Before assembly processes can be started, all the parts have to be check in term of
dimensions whether it is in standard size or not. IPQC Inspector is responsible for
collecting the sample from the plastic injection molding machine to conduct the in process
inspection. The specification of product will be recorded in check sheet by inspector, where
the results of inspection record will be used to plot the pareto chart to identify the critical
mistakes of the production process. In this process, the casings that are injection molded
from the machine are checked with the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) to ensure
that its dimensions are accurate. After all raw materials required for assembly are checked,
assembly of product can be proceeded. In this phase, all the features are installed to the
casings and to be checked by the OQA.
7.11.3 Outgoing Quality Assurance (OQA)
Outgoing quality control process is the last process of our company which checks the
product after the case has been assembled and painted. The solar casings are ready for sales
if the specifications are in the range. All the dimensions will be rechecked and the surfaces
of the products are checked to ensure there is no surface crack after assembled. If defects
occur, quality circle will be employed to discuss and review the detected trends to identify
for the possible way to recover.

7.12 Product Specification

P a g e 25 | 56
The considerations involved in product specification are as follow:
Battery
Capacity
Solar Charger
Size
Weight
For battery, consideration that involved is that what type of battery is more suitable. As for
our product (casing), our company prefer to choose Li-polymer battery cells. The reason is
due to its good features such as, no memory effect, low self-discharged rate (2%/month),
excellent safety characteristics and high operating voltage (3.7V average, 4.2 volts peak).
The capacity is also very important because it is the amount of energy that can be stored in
the battery. Next, different solar charger has to be selected properly so as the devices can
be charged. For example, if the devices are tablet, cell phone or smart phone, a solar panel
must be at least with 15V, 150mA. Furthermore, the size of the casing is also under
consideration in order to bring convenient for the users to carry. Last but not least, the
weight has to be design as light as possible so that the total weight of casing together with
the devices wont be too heavy.

7.13 Product Quality

Product quality is based on how durable or end of useful life of a product. For our company
casing, the quality of the solar panel as well as the casing quality are determined. The
quality of the solar panel has to be very strictly tested to ensure it is operating properly
without endanger the users. The casing also tested how well it can protect the devices from
being cracked. Every parts of the design are very important as it implies the quality of a
product.

7.14 Packaging Specifications

As for the product packaging specification, our company also ensure that the packaging
materials used are all eco-friendly or using the recycled materials. All the product is packed
with attractive design and most importantly is the overall protection of the product for
distribution, storage, sale and use. Before goods are ready for transport, our company uses
the boxes that made of cardboard. This is not merely due to its low price, however, the
materials used are always considered, whether it is recyclable or oppositely.

The below are the packaging specifications that under consideration of S&R Casing
Company:
I. Eye-catching appearance
An eye-catching appearance of packaging of product is very important because most
of the consumers especially the younger ones will respond very positively.

II. Design Shape and Color

P a g e 26 | 56
 The reason of well-considered design with creative printing and finishing is to entice
customers in order to pay more attention to our product pack as well as the contents.

III. Innovation
Innovation in aspect of packaging also plays a main role to win attraction over other
products. An innovative pack will make a product to be a new product even familiar
product does exist in the market. Thus, it is considered a strategy to boost sales of
product.

IV. Appropriateness
Appropriateness of packaging is considered to be extremely important as well as it
implies the quality of the product. Instead of just promising the good quality product
to be produced, our company also pays more attention on packaging so as the quality
of product is communicated by packaging itself.

7.15 Safety Requirements

Short circuit and overheating of the product are always what our company concerned about.
Since the product involved electronic components, safety is uppermost important to ensure
it is safe to use. To do so, our company has tested all the product to ensure that all the goods
are in very safe condition before it reaches to customers.

7.16 Labelling Information

The label of the product has to be in details to let customer to choose their desired
specification. Normally, the details to be provided on the product packaging are as below:-
Product name
Product Specification
Battery capacity
Color and size
Applicable devices
Manufacturing location
Product website
Serial number

Establishment cost can be recovered after S&R Casing Sdn. Bhd. operates for approximate
three years. By the beginning of year 2018, profit can be made since it has positive
cumulative net cash. In addition, this project also has a positive NPV that will increase the
wealth of shareholder. The IRR value was also acceptable. Hence, it is feasible to run this
business plan.

10.0 Exit Strategy

Regarding to the exit strategy that has to be planned before the day is really coming when
our company is no longer run the business. There are reasons to plan an exit. Firstly, the
investors will cash the equity investments in when they see no return or the company is
sold. Another reason is that the entrepreneurs always want to start a business and they are
about to exit when they lose the enjoyment in a cookie-cutter business. Thirdly, we must
have a plan for unexpected event, such as financial hardship, disability, death, injury, or
some other event like ownership transfer, succession or retirement, or even bankruptcy or
liquidation. So here are a few things our company has considered.

One of the considerations is that we will sell to a friendly individual. Need not a buyer
from the inside but also maybe a buyer which has operation knowledge of our company
who is our employees or managers. This is a great way to cash the equity investments in,
therefore we can pay ourselves, and start another business again; meanwhile, less of due
diligence is required. We expect someone who has more skills and interest on operation to
scale it.

Another consideration is merger and acquisition. This is another great way we have
considered that is to merge with a similar company or to sell it to a larger company. This
will be a win-win situation when being merged with a bordering company that has
complementary skills where can cover one another. Therefore, this will increase the
probability for success and increase in its revenue.

11.0 Recommendation
Since the solar casing is still new to be use in Malaysia, attention to quality for the
current uniqueness casing is important to gain a competitive advantage. After the
introduction stage, S&R Casing Sdn. Bhd. will be producing solar casing for a variety
type of netbook and laptop. Some type of plastic can be self-produce by S&R Casing to
reduce the dependency on the supplier. As a result, the pricing of solar casing can be
further reduced to compete with other type of casing in the market. Besides,
environmental and quality issues are also need to be considered to gain the trust from
customer. Registration for ISO certificates such as environmental and quality
management will be applied to enhance the existing product line.
P a g e 41 | 56
12.0 Conclusion
Based on the income statement above, it shows that our business is very potential in current
market. As from the payback period calculated under project viability, our total
establishment can be regained within 3 years which is approximately until March 2018.
Since our product is unique and innovative, it will be able to attract the attention from
customers to try something new and increase the annual sales. In order to maintain the sales
annually, our company will make use of price strategy attract more customers. Since our
product involved the electronic components, we will ensured the products produced are
perfectly safe to use and with quality guaranteed. Lastly, S&R Casing Company goal is to
produce environmentally friendly products to reduce carbon footprint in earth.

Meeting Content
This main purpose of this general meeting among group member is to
ensure that all group members understand of this research project and
after that start our discussion based on Group Task 1 document. In this
meeting, we also introduce among each other and profiles of all
members were written down by Felix Kok. The first thing to do is to
nominate several products and services that are unique as compare to
what already exist. There are several product and services have been
nominated as below:
Opportunities
Services
The Best Internet High, as the internet provider
Provider nowadays such as Digi, Maxis and

P a g e 44 | 56
(by Javenson Serit) Celcom have the limitation of internet
quota to surf internet. When then users
exceed the internet quota, users will
get throttled after quota and requires
addition of cost to get extra high speed
internet. This new service will provide
a new brand of service which no quota
will be induced to the users.
Giant Tuition Center Moderate, as there are too many
(by Lim Beng Hooi) tuition centers everywhere and many
of them already planted their name
very well and being trusted by public.
However, the tuition center that we
will provide is quality guaranteed and
the subjects involved are basically
every single subject from primary and
secondary school. This center also
provides day care service that includes
monitoring of academic progress in
school and encouraging motivation of
learning which mainly targeted at
professional business man and women.
Hotel Low, as there are too many hotels have
(by Lim Beng Hooi) been built current day and hence this
business will be very risky and high
cost expenses. This hotel was planned
to build in Iskandar State of Johor,
Malaysia which consists of several
main places of interests such as theme
parks and tourist attraction. Among the
competitor, this proposal are factors
designed to seek the right balance
between price and quality service
while ensuring the hotel are
environmental designed through the
guidelines of green building.
Products
Sweetener Moderate, as the demand of sugar is
(by Felix Kok) extremely high in Malaysia and it can
be used in many purposes. Since
Malaysia is ranked top among Asian
countries for obesity, our idea is to
produce healthy sweet that have low
calorie and fat free that are able to
have possible health benefits.
Bricks Moderate, as the country still
(by Chan Su Ming) developing like state of Sarawak.
There are many construction projects
in present days, so the demand is quite
high and worth to invest in this
P a g e 45 | 56
 business. Our brick will be slightly
different with the existing one, yet
tougher and cheaper. The usage of
renewable material will also be
considered into the proposal.

After discussion, we found that products that have think out is not quite
suitable as it really need to search more information to find new
materials and make it unique as compared to the existing one. And the
services can be taken into consideration.

After further discussing, Lim Beng Hooi thinks out with another
product and service. This time, we have start to consider the
sustainability, product potential and pragmatism as stated in the Group
Task 1 document.

In the same time, Chan Su Ming and Felix Kok also doing some
research to find what other services can be included and improve the
product to the new current idea.

P a g e 46 | 56
 The result of the efforts can be noticed in the table below:
Product: Solar Sustainability It is sustainable since the energy used is
Tablet solar energy. It make convenient to users
Charging Case and reduce dependency power bank which
(by Lim Beng require to be recharged, while the casing
Hooi) can be used as long as there is sunlight or
indoor lights, it will charge the device
automatically.
Product This product is very potential in Malaysia
Potential since there is no such casing selling
currently from any IT store within
Malaysia. The awareness of energy crisis is
growing and it leads to the ease of use the
renewable technology.
Pragmatism It is very useful and very convenient to use.

hygienic products. Since the competitive weakness of their
Javenson Serit
business model in the industry is unknown brand image, M.E.N
tells us that to develop a new product, heavy advertising to the
public such as Internet, magazine and so on is a must. Therefore,
the establishing product website and trademark acquisition is
crucial in order to achieve their vision of becoming a recognized
leader in the industry for selling high value and household name
in the men's grooming products. The growing trends of more
and more men paying attention to their appearance are able to
attract manufacturers to invest into the mens toiletries industry.
This gives an insight to M.E.N founders of starting a business.
Besides, the location chose by M.E.N in Georgetown, DC was
great due to high human traffic and furthermore tourist and
university students were the potential buyers. M.E.N studies the
strategic layout of their shop display and store renovation
carefully which includes the arrangements of products and
customer services. The idea of unique products range and
rewards program were keen on to target the potential young to
professional men. With combined with great accessibility and
quality products, the aim of achieving 48 retail outlets
nationwide in 5 years together with selling products worldwide
shouldnt be hard. In overall, this business is very satisfied.

The founders of RIT think that innovation technology in

railroad will has high potential to change the Railcar Industry
as they expected that SFT will improve the performance of
railroad trucks as compared to current trucks. However, the
cost for initial production design was too expensive. RIT
realized that the railroad market has to put more attention in
respect of design for the railroad truck. As the fuel efficiency
and payloads of the railroad industry in America was low,
AAR needs innovative technology that will improve railcars
that are able to transport goods and material. The current truck
manufacturers have been affiliated but struggling to improve
future trucks based on the design to meet the efficiency dictated
AAR and Class I railroads performance specifications. If RIT
SFT successfully advances the truck design, the market for
new trucks might be strongly demanded. Costs and benefits are
the essential key to be analyzed by a company to determine
whether the market is worth to be invested or not. This proposal
done by RIT shows that RIT has made an effort to schedule the
plan for capital requirements and it has been analyzed
thoroughly for a time of 7 years.
