Four people work together in a bright meeting space at Vector beside a glass wall covered with colorful sticky notes. Two people stand and hold note cards while others sit at a table with papers and markers. The group appears to be discussing ideas during a collaborative workshop or planning session.

Automotive SPICE

Stop managing ASPICE for audits. Start using it for results.

Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is a critical requirement in many global markets, with ASPICE 3.1 focusing on process compliance and ASPICE 4.0 expanding to include validation and hardware development. Vector Consulting stands out as your trusted partner for ASPICE implementation, providing tailored solutions for both versions and helping you achieve the highest standards of process excellence and operational efficiency.

For ASPICE 3.1, we optimize your processes to ensure compliance and enhance efficiency. For ASPICE 4.0, we also address the new requirements for validation and hardware development, ensuring a comprehensive approach to quality and compliance.

ASPICE4Check

The Automotive Industry moves from ASPICE 3.1 to ASPICE 4.0. What does that mean for you? How can you benefit and avoid traps?

Vector as a leading software company knows OEM demands first-hand. Unlike other consulting companies we walk the talk. We help with new content such as validation, ML, and hardware — but also how to efficiently connect with other standards.

Benefits are tangible as we see in our projects: predictable performance and maturity improvement for systems, software and hardware. Often, systems derail with energy hungry processing power and insufficient memory or lack of system components without any fallback option. Hardware must be treated with the same professional culture, predictability and maturity as System and Software Engineering.

  • Comprehensive Gap Analysis: Two days of in-depth analysis and documentation, identifying key areas for improvement.
  • Tailored Training and Consulting: 1 day of training and 1 day of expert consulting customized to your needs.

Reference Project

A Fortune 100 company with globally distributed development was looking for a lean approach to improve engineering processes and enhance its capability to deliver. The objective was to gain tangible improvements that sustainably enhance efficiency in their various product lines.

We implemented individually tailored improvement projects for each of the business units in order to address their respective challenges, needs and products. Improvement objectives and milestones were derived from business objectives. They were realized with incremental improvement steps to avoid overly long cycles with no measurable results. CMMI served as a tool to orchestrate improvements and to get orientation with suitable industry benchmarks.

With our incremental approach the company could reduce their field failure rates by 10-20% on a yearly basis while at the same time reducing their cost of non-quality by over 20% per year.
