Summary

The Watch Division System EPT drives and owns our complex prototype Build Matrix - the recipe card for the combination of parts and designs we will build configuration by configuration throughout these major build events. These massive matrices (200+ configurations and 1500+ component options) are complied by gathering information and dependencies from Technical resources/Engineers, Module owners, EPMs, EPSs, and GSMs across the entire Watch cross functional community. The System EPT then integrates these plans into an easy to follow set of instructions (Build Matrix) for our lower level suppliers and system level CM partners to execute. Further the System EPT acts as the leader among the procurement, EPS, and GSM communities in supporting all material, logistic, and financial aspects of our Watch System prototype builds.
