Abstract

This study aims to explore the issues of wallet neuropathy and pickpocketing and examine the underlying causes and potential solutions. The outcome of this study intends to potentially reduce the prevalence of wallet neuropathy cases and pickpocketing. A problem-solving tool known as TRIZ was used to identify root causes to the problem and establish engineering contradictions. Solution models were then extracted from the TRIZ contradiction matrix with reference to these engineering contradictions. The contradictions were resolved using proposed recommendations from some of the 40 inventive principles of TRIZ. The inventive principles generated from TRIZ include flexible shells and thin films, mechanical vibration, nested doll and asymmetry principles. These individual principles guided the researchers in suggesting design ideas that use vibrational feedback, cushioning, modular wallet designs and asymmetrical wallet designs to reduce the occurrence of wallet neuropathy and pickpocketing. It may still be uncertain whether or not these ideas can integrate well with one another. However, as initial recommendations, these ideas have the potential to solve some of the root causes for wallet neuropathy and pickpocketing.
