1Scope1.1IntroductionThe Automotive SPICE Process Reference Model (PRM) has beendeveloped by consensus of the car manufacturers within the AutomotiveSpecial Interest Group (SIG) of the joint Procurement Forum/SPICE UserGroup under the Automotive SPICE initiative.The Automotive SPICE PRM defined in this document is derived from AnnexF and H of ISO/IEC 12207 AMD1: 2002 and ISO/IEC 12207 AMD2: 2004. Itcontains a sub set of the total processes with minor editorial changes togetherwith a number of other changes to reflect consistency in use of terminologyand application in the automotive sector.The FULL scope of Automotive SPICE contains ALL the processes from theISO/IEC 15504 Process Reference Model (PRM). The fact that someprocesses have not been included within the Automotive SPICE PRM doesnot mean that they are not valid.Supplier organisations should address all processes relevant to their businessneeds within their organisation. Where a process is not included within theAutomotive SPICE Process Reference Model (PRM) then the relevantprocess should be included from the ISO/IEC 15504 exemplar ProcessAssessment Model. The manufacturers will however focus on the set ofprocess defined within the Automotive SPICE PRM when performingsupplier capability assessments.1.2PurposeThe Automotive SPICE PRM, used with the process capability attributes andrating scheme defined in ISO/IEC 15502-2, provides a common framework forassessing the software process capability of automotive suppliers.The Automotive SPICE PRM is used in conjunction with the AutomotiveSPICE Process Assessment Model (PAM) when performing an assessment.The Automotive SPICE PAM provides additional indicators of processperformance and process capability tailored to the needs of performingassessments of software process capability of automotive suppliers.

2Statement of compliance2.1IntroductionISO/IEC 15504-2 requires that processes included in a PRM satisfy thefollowing:"The fundamental elements of a process reference model are the set ofdescriptions of the processes within the scope of the model. These processdescriptions shall meet the following requirements:a) A process shall be described in terms of its Purpose and Outcomes.b) In any description the set of process outcomes shall be necessary andsufficient to achieve the purpose of the process.c) Process descriptions shall be such that no aspects of the measurementframework as described in clause 5 of this International Standard beyond level 1are contained or implied."As processes are derived directly from ISO/IEC 12207 AMD 1 – Annex F andH supplemented by the ISO/IEC 12207 AMD 2, these requirements aresatisfied.The PRM includes processes, which are grouped in three process categories,identical to the process categories defined in ISO/IEC 12207 AMD 1, whichare: the Primary life cycle processes category; the Supporting life cycle processes category; the Organizational life cycle processes category.Within a process category, processes are grouped at a second levelaccording to the type of activity they address. The processes included in thesame group have a logical relationship as their capabilities are related andcontribute to a complementary problematic. The SPICE User Group 2005-201011
2.2Primary Life Cycle Processes categoryThe Primary life cycle processes category consists of processes in the PRMthat may be used by the customer when acquiring products from a supplier,and by supplier when responding and delivering products to the customerincluding the engineering processes needed for specification, design,development, integration and testing.The primary life cycle processes category consists of the following groups: the Acquisition process group; the Supply process group; the Engineering process group;The Acquisition process group (ACQ) consists of processes that areperformed by the customer, or by the supplier when acting as a customer forits own suppliers, in order to acquire a product and/or service.Any contract performed will be managed by processes in the Managementprocess group (MAN) and executed by the processes in the Engineeringprocess group (ENG).Table 1 — Primary Life Cycle Processes – ACQ process groupProcessIdentificationPRM Process nameSourceACQ.3Contract agreementISO/IEC 12207 Amd.2 (§F1.2.2)ACQ.4Supplier monitoringISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex F;§F.1.1.3)ACQ.11Technical requirementsISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex H;§H1.4)ACQ.12Legal and administrativerequirementsISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex H;§H1.5)ACQ.13Project requirementsISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex H;§H1.7)ACQ.14Request for proposalsISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex H;§H1.8)ACQ.15Supplier qualificationISO/IEC 12207 Amd.1 (Annex H;§H1.9)The Supply process group (SPL) consists of processes performed by thesupplier in order to supply a product and/or a service.

Nevertheless, there are different versions of SPICE, and we hope this list of model card parameters can be useful to determine which version of SPICE model is implemented in Alecsis.
