Rationale for Auto SPICE

� Productivity improvement by

� … out sourcing of subsystem development

� … distributed engineering

� … use of building blocks

� Compliance is necessary

� … for integration of subsystems

� … for platform strategies

� … for product line approaches

� … for global distributed engineering

� Examples for Compliance Needs

� … Automotive SPICE®

� … CMMi

� … ISO/IEC 26262

Rationale for Auto SPICE

� Pain Points of Tier One Suppliers

� … showing traceability of customer requirements

� … define and implement change management with respect to customers and own suppliers

� … integration of PLM/ALM tools to improve efficiency

� … showing compliance to standards on the fly

� … include their own suppliers in a common infrastructure

� … managing a network of dependencies among their own suppliers

Situation

• Isolated business units with lots of different heritage (resulting from M&A), processes and culture

• Transformation from a hardware-driven to an electronic-focused software company with > 10,000 engineers

• Many different tools and repositories

Challenges

• Development silos made it impossible to collaborate across business units

• No transparency over project status and progress
