Automotive SPICE PoA présente des similitudes avec le Analyse de potentiel VDA 6.3, particularly Module P1, which has long been recognised for risk assessments. Traditionally, VDA 6.3 evaluates risks related to suppliers, technologies, production sites, and products. However, while VDA 6.3 encompasses a broad range of domains, Automotive SPICE PoA takes a more specialised approach.
En se concentrant exclusivement sur les systèmes logiciels, Automotive SPICE PoA constitue un référentiel indépendant Modèle d'évaluation des processus (PAM)/Modèle de référence des processus (PRM). Unlike VDA 6.3, it does not assess hardware or mechanical aspects, offering a targeted evaluation that meets the specific needs of modern Automotive software projects. This specialised approach is built on a standardised method, which is crucial for evaluating the capabilities of potential collaborations for product or service delivery, reducing risks, and facilitating process improvements.

Process Reference Model (PRM) dans Automotive SPICE PoA
Le Modèle de référence de processus (PRM) dans Automotive SPICE, le PoA est dérivé d'Automotive SPICE® 4.0, conservant son fondement méthodologique tout en rationalisant la structure pour des évaluations plus rapides. En se concentrant surNiveau de capacité 1, le PRM évalue les processus techniques critiques tout en excluant les aspects organisationnels non essentiels.
Le support joue un rôle crucial en facilitant les efforts d'amélioration des processus et d'analyse des problèmes dans le cadre du plan d'action Automotive SPICE.
Structure du PRM dans Automotive SPICE PoA :
1. Périmètre BASIC : processus fondamentaux obligatoires, incluant :
- Gestion potentielle de projet (POPM),
- Gestion des versions et de la configuration technique (RTCM),
- Process Quality Assurance (PQAS),
- Résolution de problèmes techniques (TEPR).
2. PLUG-IN : processus optionnels pour étendre l'évaluation dans des domaines tels que :
- Niveau système : Exigences et conception système (SYRD), Intégration et vérification système (SYIV),
- Niveau logiciel : Exigences logicielles, Conception et mise en œuvre (SWDI), Intégration et vérification logicielles (SWIV),
- Élicitation des exigences : Collecte et gestion des exigences des parties prenantes (REEL).
3. Périmètre FLEX :
Processus supplémentaires adaptés à des besoins spécifiques de projet, tels que la gestion des partenaires et de la collaboration (PCOM) ou la gestion des demandes de changement technique (TCRM).
Applications pratiques
Automotive SPICE PoA finds its strength in practical, early-phase applications. For instance, imagine an OEM working on a next-generation ADAS project. By leveraging Automotive SPICE PoA, the OEM can quickly evaluate multiple suppliers’ software development capabilities, ensuring they align with project needs.
