The Vision
The vision of the proposed product is to be the most useful, creative, and comforting
carpal tunnel syndrome prevention treatment.

The Mission
The mission of the proposed product is to decrease carpal tunnel syndrome risks to the
computer users.

Executive Summary
Introduction
As each day computer usage rapidly increases, many health problems suffered by
computer users become hot topics worldwide. One of the most popular issues today is
carpal tunnel syndrome. It is a syndrome where hand and wrist suffer numbness or
tingling because of excessive pressure on a key nerve in the wrist.
The factor that contributes to this syndrome is still debated internationally but it has
great possibility that it is occurred by repetitive and forceful motion of hand or wrist.
In this case, computer users that intensively use mouse and keyboard are highly risky
to suffer carpal tunnel syndrome. Roquelaure study in 2008 shows that 50% of clerical
workers are highly risk to suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.
Seeing this issue as a business opportunity, the product that is proposed is basically
designed to be a prevention therapy of carpal tunnel syndrome. The idea is to produce
a comfortable and fashionable carpal tunnel syndrome prevention therapy wristband.
This product can be very beneficial in this perfect momentum as the issue is growing
while there has been no further specific effort to improve the medical prevention
therapy of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Proposed Product Concept

The product proposed is based on the nature of
the posture of humans hand and wrist. It is
designed to keep the neutral posture of hand and
wrist in order to prevent any excessive pressure
exposure in hand and wrist while doing any carpal
tunnel syndrome factors. The design highlights
medical therapy, comfort, and fashion.

Description of Product Concept

The basic idea of this product is to comfort the hand and the wrist of the customers
while doing a repetitive and forceful motion such as typing with keyboard, using
mouse and writing. The product has a form of half-glove half-wristband, which means
it covers the palm and the wrist without covering fingers. As a relaxant of the hand
and the wrist, we design to use stuffed sponge covering the lower part of the wrist and
the sides of the wrist. By using this sponge, the customers can write, use keyboard and
mouse with comfort.

Target Customers or Market

The target customer of this product is computer users in teenagers to adults group
ages. For examples, teacher, office worker, gamers, students.

PRODUCT PLANNING
Product plan identifies the portfolio of projects to be pursued. Glomoves plan divides
into four categories:

New platforms which is the Glomoves,

Derivatives of the existing platform which is therapeutical gloves

Product improvements that will be implemented into Glomoves design: 1)

Pad; 2) Skeleton

Fundamentally new products, up to now, EIS Medcorp does not have any
future project that has completely different technology from the one that is
implemented in Glomoves

Balancing the Portfolio

Since our project strategy is customer focus, the portfolio involves market attractiveness
dimension to analyze the portfolio of the project. In this mapping approach, the
portfolio is plotted along two specific dimensions: the extent to which the project
involves a change in the product line and the extent to which the project involves a
change in production process. The size of circles indicates the relative market
attractiveness of the development project. By using this matrix, we discover that the
market attractiveness is very high in Breakthrough Development.

Is diverse set of product opportunities?

Glomoves is a product in therapeutically area. The diversity of product is not quite an
opportunities. Based on our opportunity statements, our focus is on the effectiveness
of this product.

Does the product plan support the competitive strategy of the firm?
Absolutely yes, Glomoves product plan is just not a plan how to produce it, but also
we improve our product buy testing the product itself directly into our market.
Because our strategy is based on customers satisfaction, this interaction between
our company to the customer who use our product is very important

Are the total resources allocated to product development sufficient to pursue the
firms competitive strategy?
Our resources are sufficient. Our resources are very complete. It is very flexible to any
change of plan or change of product design cause of product development. Our
project manager will manage the feedback from customer, and product manager
response to the feedback, then QA and QC concern about the policies regarding this
feedback, and last process manager will implement this feedback of product to
change the process to make a developed one product.

Does the core team accept the challenges of the resulting mission statement?
Core team does accept the challenges of resulting mission statement. We are ready
for making a new innovation of therapeutically treatment especially for CTS Sufferer.

Are the elements of the mission statement consistent?

Yes, very consistent. Our opportunities are based on our mission statement, which is
making a therapeutic treatment to be comfortable, and prevent people of CTS.

Are the assumptions listed in the mission statement really necessary or is the project
overconstrained? Will the development team have the freedom to develop the best
possible product?
Yes, very important. These assumptions are our constraints. The development team
at some aspect will not have the freedom to develop, because the development itself
based on medical issue which is the most important part.

How can the product planning process be improved?

Our product planning can be improved by reviewing the feedback of our product,
which is we have to conduct a survey on order to know customers feedback. From
those feedbacks we can review our product and develop the product also develop
some specific product planning regarding to the product development and processes.

Product Architecture
Glomoves is an armrest wristband used to help the sufferers of CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). It is
in the shape of a fingerless glove with a pad on the area of the wrist for support.

I. Architecture
The architecture we are using for Glomoves is the modular architecture; there are only two
chunks for this product, which is a glove and a pad. The functions are :
1. Glove
: Works as a retainer for the wrist so it doesnt bend oddly.
2. Pad
: Support for the wrist.
Each of the chunks has single function and has clear interaction with each other, as being sewn
onto one another connects both chunks.

Geometric Layout

The layout of Glomoves is simple as it only has two chunks. The pad is located under the
glove, while the glove will cover the hand-wrist area of the user.
IV.

Interaction
The interaction of the Glomove is fairly simple, the fundamental interaction is the usage of
the user to the glove, and later the interaction of the pad towards the surface in which it is
leaning on.
The incidental interaction with the product though is the stretching of the glove with the
users hand. When the product is new, the elastic bands are still tight, therefore when using
the product for the first time, automatically it will cause stretching, though if there are
significant size differences, the user might force their hands to the item, possibly causing the
bands to strain.

Platform Planning
The customers aimed are mostly computer users ranging from students to office workers, and
the design of Glomoves is to also be a casual wear that people can use anytime. The
differentiation plan is between students or young adults to office workers/adults.
The difference are mostly the style and size, adults being bigger and has a minimalistic,
simple and compact style; while the students is more stylish with various colors and a smaller
size.

Differentiating Attributes

The Commonality plan for Glomove is mostly only the difference with the padding. The
students pad uses a foam pad covered with Busa ati, therefore making it thinner and more
versatile as with it being stylish, the adults uses the Bra-cup pad, making it more durable
and work better for the support.

User interactions

Novelty of user
interactions

There is only one user-interaction; wearing the Glomoves, but

it is important since it has direct interaction with the user.
The solution of user interaction is implied in the design and

form of the product; fit-to-hand design, smooth, flexible and

breathable fabrics.

There is almost none safety issue as Glomoves is an apparel

Safety

product. However, it is important for the customers to

acknowledge in which activities Glomoves should not be used.

Aesthetics
There are already many hand-wrist support products in the

market and since it is apparel product, its appearance is

crucial.

Pride of ownership,
fashion, or image

Team motivation

As a daily-use-apparel-product, Glomoves had to be attractive.

It is attended to be not only a wrist support but also a fashion

accessory.

Design of the Glomoves is crucial for inspiring the team and

motivate the team to market it.

Based on the needs assessment, it can be concluded that Industrial Design has important role in
Glomoves. Both ergonomics and aesthetic aspects are needed in the product to support its primary
function and market the product.

Industrial Design Management

Industrial design that is involved in the Glomoves development process is classified as User-Driven
Product. As the core profiles of a User-Driven Product is derived from the functionality of its interface
and its aesthetic appeal, thus Glomoves has high degree user interface to those requirements as a UserDriven Product.
As a User-Drive Products, Glomoves is easy to use, as it has a design that can performed easily to wear
it, how to wear Glomoves is just like wearing any other gloves, just slide into it with the pad is placed
under the palm. Glomoves reach from young-adults to adults. Moreover, it also reaches for quite broad
range of people, from students to professionals.

The products external appearance is important to differentiate between the products. Glomoves has
several design of color that each of its customer can choose that suit their background. For example, as
for the students they can choose colorful bright color, for professional women they might prefer beige
neutral color to bright color, and for professional men they might choose darker color way for classy
appearance. The colors that Glomoves offer also have to create pride for the customer to have one of
the products.
Even though, there is no sophisticated technology to differentiate each Glomoves product, it still needs
engineering role for the technical features/requirements that is often already established at the
beginning. Thus the development team can focuses on the user aspects of the product.

Industrial Design Quality Assessment

User Interface Quality
The product is relatively easy to use. To wear the product is simply to wear it like any other glove, using
it is also fairly direct, as all a user need to do is place their wrist to work (with mouse, writing, or even
resting). The pad will support the wrist and user only need to do their intended duties.
Because the product is apparel, a majority of the material used is soft fabrics. Therefore safe and has
very little possibility of injury caused by the product itself. The product has also considered different
type of customers, though mostly focused on its original concept in being an arm wrest wristband to
help sufferers of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CST). A casual wear for those who wishes to prevent, or use
for a wrist support is also available and normally simpler.
The fabric uses high stretch fabric and once used will not be loose. It will stick to the skin, though
without hindering activities. The finger part is cut off, for there is no use for this product, as it focuses on
the support of the wrist.

Emotional Appeal
Depending on which type of the product is, the appearance may vary. Though for the therapeutic type,
theres generally the color black, as the features and uses to help sufferers of CST are prioritized. But for
casual wearers, there is a variety of colors and style. So to fit a customer is to simply vary the colors in
eye-catching, unique colors.

Glomove may be a product that was made to be affordable for the customers, but that does not mean
the quality does not say superiority. The design is slick and trendy to express quality. The product is both
useful and is appealing in comparison to some of our competitors. And by varying the colors and style,
customers can choose a Glomove that fits them, inspiring their pride of ownership.

Ability to Maintain and Repair the Product

Glomove is made out of fabric, to maintain it is not such a difficult task. Maintaining the glomove only
need to clean it. Use soft wet cotton and rub them over the spot with a stain. Glomove is also a product
that should last for a while, and should not break easily, so reparation does not occur so often.

Appropriate Use of Resources

Because Glomove is a product that focuses on customer needs, satisfying customer requirements is
vital, especially the product being that has medical properties (to help assist sufferers of CST). Resources
are used to make sure the product is manufactured properly with little defect and maximum effectivity.
The materials used to make Glomove is sufficient for its use, for instance the use of Jersey for flexibility
in fabric, and also the softness when touched or rubbed, making it comfortable. The materials used are
also fairly affordable in price, so the price of distribution could be affordable for customers.
Because we strived for simplicity but useful in our product, Glomove has sufficient usage for its intended
use, certain possible features were not added, which was why we went with the fingerless, wore-on
type, compared to the strap-on like splinter. Though perhaps lacking in strength, but it is sufficient for its
use, and simple enough not to hinder, and even enhance, daily activities.

Product Differentiation
Firstly, our product has a unique name/brand, and that alone has made a catchy strike for customers, a
name that is easy to remember. When advertised, the one to grab attention would not only be the
product itself and its uses, the styles, colors and name brand would help in recognition.

Glomove is also an easy to identify item, being a stylish fingerless glove with a support pad. In the
streets it would also be easy to identify, especially since in Indonesia, little use fingerless gloves, and so
that in its own is very eye-catching, and with our specific colors, identification is likely.

Glomove is also a medical-based product, which fits the corporate identity of EIS MedCorp. Because EIS
is a company that works on medical products, though not strictly, and the types of Glomoves proves
that fact in the variety.

Costs of Process Reduction

The cost in the process of making the product is calculated by amount of labors, wages, cost per hour,
rounding up into the total costs per hour.
The activities counted are based on the processes used to make the product, totaling up the cost the
result is shown at table 2.7.1 with the total cost of Rp 363,886 per hour. The processes Cutting Sponge
Hati (2.5mm) and Sewing Sub assembly are bolded in red and the reason is because after analyzing and
reviewing through the processes, two of the 10 processes arent necessary for the creation of the
product.
The product Glomove has a rest-pad as one of its core parts, and in order for the pad to support the
weight given by the arm is by the cushion, but also the use of sponge Hati. The company deduced that
5.0mm is the one used because of the sturdiness thats given better than the 2.5mm one. Originally, the
2,5mm is used for variety, but in terms of priority, it is not very high.
Furthermore, All sub-parts are assembled together at the same time in the assembly process, rendering
the sub-assembly process futile, and can be removed for cost reduction.
The process cost is updated and is shown in table 2.7.2

Table 2.7.2 Refined Processing Cost Table

Table 2.7.1 Processing Cost Table

The table above shows the refined processing cost table without the cutting sponge hati (2,5mm) and
sewing sub-assembly, reducing the total cost from Rp 363,886 to Rp 276,049 per hour.

PROTOTYPING
I.

Use of prototyping for Glomoves

Prototyping have several important usage for many types of products, Learning,
communication, integrating and for milestone, for some, certain aspects is used more or is
of more priority. For Glomoves our use of prototypes were mainly for learning and
integration, though other aspects are also used.
Learning
As explained above, Glomoves uses an earlier prototype to determine plenty of
elements and how it would work for the entirety of the product. Our earliest
prototype was simply made out of Sponge, foam and elastic bands, roughly put
together to create the base shape of our glove. This prototype helped us learn that
the current shape for the base glove would not be very effective and caused further
changes for the product, ultimately for the better.
Communication
From the early prototype it is also then possible to communicate to the rest of the
team easier to explain what works and what does not work for the product.
Integration
Here is where the team decides how and why a certain aspect of the product are
erased or changed, like in the early prototype, prototype beta, several changes were
made, for instance the initial design and the pattern. Which in turn changed the
process to match the new design.

Planning a Prototype
Step 1: Purpose of Prototype
As stated above, the purpose of the prototype for
Glomoves is to learn about the product and to make
more alterations to improve the product
Step 2: Level of Approximation of prototype
The level of approximation for our product is based on
the specifications made previously on the designing of
the product, and the level of effectiveness when worn
Step 3: Experiment Plans
For the experiment plans, each prototype is planned by
the reason why the prototype is made. The process is
then made from there.
Step 4: Schedule
The schedule is made based on the processes and set to
fill on and another for effectivity.
