PROBLEMS WITH TRAVEL – PROJECT TEAM • Process • Key decisions will be taken based on democratic voting e.g. 5 MBAs voted for 1 ACCD student as the Project Coordinator • Majority vote will hold but everyone is open to argue his opinion • Structured in order to meet goals in a tight timeline • But making sure not to restrict creative thinking • Setup a Team diary so it help the team learn through continuing feedback and remember milestones • Capitalize on everybody’s core strengths and point of view.

VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERS Whenever I travel, I am concerned that my luggage might get damaged or lost I like the idea of the luggage “shrink-wrap” service offered in the airports Durable suitcases weights 4-6kg, 25% of the allowed weight in most of the airlines I hate when I go to the airport and find out that I have excess luggage and have to pay for the overweight I wish I was able to weigh my luggage before going to the airport Most of the suitcases look the same & are ugly Carrying it around is tiring and inconvenient The luggage most of the times is not user-friendly
LUGGAGE • Overweight • Ugly • Loss/Damage • Losing or forgetting stuff • Difficult to get around with
MISSION STATEMENT Help to develop the ultimate luggage solution that combines practicality, ergonomics and aesthetics to improve the traveling experience of frequent travelers. Durable Light weight Fashionable
