When a company considers implementing the ASPICE model, usually one question pop-up: can we achieve a return on investment? In this blog post, we examine the topic of ASPICE training ROI. Firstly, let’s talk about the costs of implementing ASPICE. When planning our project, we need to take into account that training costs are much more than the price of traveling, training and the exam/certification fees. Quite often the critical -hidden- costs are the time spent on training and the missing support and achievements in the projects during that time. In general, at any time there seem to be good reasons for postponing an Automotive SPICE® training due to budgetary or workload reasons. But working under this model does have a long list of benefits and is entirely possible to achieve a return on investment in the short or the mid-term.

We have further improved our ASPICE Guide and it is now available as PDF or brochure in DIN A6 format. The new ASPICE® Guide contains notes and dependency diagrams that the experts at Knüvener Mackert have derived from the VDA Automotive SPICE® Guide. In this way, the ASPICE practices and the notes from the VDA guide can be read side by side, making the ASPICE guide extremely valuable for process improvement, assessment preparation and the assessment itself.

Heute werden fast alle Komponenten in Autos mit zunehmender Komplexität softwaregesteuert. Funktionale Sicherheit (ISO 26262) und Cyber Security sind kritische Aspekte, die bei der Entwicklung dieser Fahrzeugkomponenten berücksichtigt werden müssen. Um sich als Zulieferer zu qualifizieren, verlangen die OEMs Entwicklungsprozesse der Fähigkeitsstufe CL 2 oder sogar CL 3 in Automotive SPICE®. Mit anderen Worten: Um heute Entwicklungsaufträge für softwaregesteuerte Komponenten zu gewinnen, müssen Sie fit in ASPICE® sein.
