Automotive SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) is a framework developed to assess and improve the software development process in the automotive industry. It is a comprehensive set of guidelines and best practices aimed at ensuring high-quality software and systems engineering in the production of automotive electronics and systems. This industry-accepted standard was developed under the Automotive Special Interest Group (SIG) with the collaboration of major car manufacturers, suppliers, and consultants.
An Automotive SPICE course typically provides an overview of the framework and its application, focusing on:
1. Introduction: Understanding the purpose and historical background of Automotive SPICE, its benefits, and its relationship with other process improvement frameworks such as ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI.
2. Process Assessment Model (PAM): Exploring the structure and components of the Automotive SPICE Process Reference Model (PRM), the process categories, and Automotive SPICE process groups.
3. Process Assessment: Learning the assessment approach, assessment levels, capability level ratings, and the Assessment Method (Assessor Requirements, Assessment Plan, Data Collection, Data Validation, etc.).
4. Process Improvement: Identifying areas of improvement, establishing improvement plans, and monitoring and controlling the improvement process.
An Automotive SPICE course is beneficial for various roles within the automotive industry, including but not limited to:
1. Software and systems engineers who want to understand and apply best practices in their development processes.
2. Quality and process managers who are responsible for assessing and improving the software and systems engineering processes in their organization.
3. Project managers who need to ensure their projects achieve high-quality software and systems engineering solutions that meet customer requirements.
4. Automotive suppliers who are required to demonstrate compliance with Automotive SPICE as a condition for doing business with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
By taking an Automotive SPICE course, participants will gain an understanding of the framework, learn to apply best practices within their organizations, and ultimately ensure high-quality software and systems engineering solutions in the automotive industry. This can lead to improved collaboration between automotive suppliers and OEMs, increased efficiency and effectiveness in development processes, and enhanced reputation and competitiveness in the market.
This is a Rare Course and it can be take up to 3 weeks to arrange the training.
