1. Assignment
Create and launch a new, private, high-potential label 'The Third' in the Netherlands and Germany. The Third offers products in the following categories: Home, Women, Men & Kids. 

2. Project objectives
The objective of this project case is three-fold:
1)    Create a Purchasing Plan in PowerPoint and add supporting documents 
2)    Create one prototype in collaboration with a partner University;
3)    Create an 'online shop window' and promo video in collaboration with all groups, in which your actual prototype will be presented.
2.1 Purchasing Plan
Create a new collection for your product group. Each employee has a specific role (see job descriptions). Ensure all of the collections in the home, women, men and kids category match the brand's identity. The Third aims to be a one stop shop for families. Factor in recent developments when drawing up the production plan. Design a +/- 20m2 virtual floor plan with your group that ties in with the 'shop-in-shop' concept. Optional: use the two walls that come along with the 20m2 for your floor plan. See the study guide to find out more about the Purchasing Plan requirements. 

In addition to the Purchasing Plan, please provide in a separate document:
1.A Technical Pack that contains comments for the prototype and a packing manual (Excel file to be uploaded in .xlsx format)
2.    A quality test report (word file)
3.A financial plan (Excel file to be uploaded in .xlsx format);
4.    A filmed meeting (MP4 format).
