 INTRODUCTION
Objectives
 To design a portable and modernize medicine cabinet;
 To improve the functionalities of the cabinet such as timer to
remind the medicine time, lamps, ventilation system, easily
removable shelve, alarm, etc, and;
 To built a medicine cabinet with higher degree of esthetically
values.
Background
 The project generally focuses on the medicine cabinet for
Malaysian houses especially for those people who frequently
need to take medicine.
 With enhance and modernize functionalities, it’s can solves
most of user problems.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
To design a medicine cabinet that have various of
advantages for instance that they can be:
Assembled
Disassembled
Moved
Stored
Attractive
Affordable
Cheap
