Interested in finding out more about Automotive SPICE® processes from VDA Scope? Our free pocket guide provides you with a summary of all key information.
The Automotive SPICE® model provides a basis for improving and evaluating processes. It defines requirements for the development of mechatronic systems with a focus on their software and system aspects. Since version 3.1 of the standard, other development disciplines (e.g. hardware development, mechanical development, cybersecurity, etc.) can be added to Automotive SPICE®.
In the project Automotive SPICE® is used for
- Determination of the status of workflows
- Determination of process quality at the supplier
The capability determination, the so-called assessment, is used for risk assessment in the context of supplier qualification. This includes a process dimension as well as a capability dimension with so-called maturity levels.
In the process dimension, Automotive SPICE® provides 32 process requirement profiles in the fields of systems engineering, software engineering, procurement, management, and support. Project managers can use these as good practice in their process design. In an assessment, only a core selection is considered.
