4. Process reference model and performance indicators (Level 1)

The processes in the process dimension can be drawn from the Automotive SPICE process reference model, which is incorporated in the tables below indicated by a red bar at the left side.

Each table related to one process in the process dimension contains the process reference model (indicated by a red bar) and the process performance indicators necessary to define the process assessment model. The process performance indicators consist of base practices (indicated by a green bar) and output work products (indicated by a blue bar).


Process reference model

Process ID

The individual processes are described in terms of process name, process purpose, and process outcomes to define the Automotive SPICE process reference model. Additionally a process identifier is provided.

Process name

Process purpose

Process outcomes

Process performance indicators

Base practices

A set of base practices for the process providing a definition of the tasks and activities needed to accomplish the process purpose and fulfill the process outcomes

Output work products

A number of output work products associated with each process

NOTE: Refer to Annex B for the characteristics associated with each work product.
