Automotive SPICE® Assessment
Your navigation tool in the quality landscape


Your compass through the complex landscape of automotive software

In the fast-paced world of automotive development, where technologies and requirements are constantly evolving, the path to quality is often fraught with challenges. This is where the Automotive SPICE Assessment offers orientation and security.

Why requirements management?


Automotive SPICE is the benchmark for quality processes in automotive development. However, the assessment goes far beyond a simple review. It serves as a powerful tool that helps companies to critically reflect on their process landscape, consolidate strengths and identify potential for improvement.

A targeted Automotive SPICE assessment not only opens doors to compliance with industry standards. It acts as a compass to guide companies through the complex landscape of automotive software and system development. With clear instructions and guidelines, companies can minimize risks, make optimal use of resources and ultimately deliver higher quality products.

At diprocon, we don't just see the assessment as a formal exercise. Our many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the automotive sector enable us to design each assessment individually and in a targeted manner. It is our belief that every company is unique and the assessment process should reflect this individual character.

The assessment in context


The automotive industry is known for its continuous evolution, characterized by technological advances and constantly changing customer needs. In this dynamic environment, ensuring quality is not just a requirement, but the key to success. This is where the Automotive SPICE Assessment plays a central role.

Integration into the quality improvement process

Automotive SPICE Assessment cannot be viewed in isolation. It is an integral part of the overall quality improvement process. The assessment serves as a kind of health check for a company's development processes. It identifies strengths that can be built upon and weaknesses that need to be addressed. Each assessment ends with a clear roadmap for improvement that helps companies to refine their processes and increase the quality of their products.

Orientation in the Automotive SPICE framework

The Automotive SPICE framework is extensive and can seem overwhelming at first glance. It defines numerous processes and practices that should be followed in automotive software and system development. The assessment serves as a navigation aid here. It helps companies not only to understand the framework, but also to use it effectively.
Think of the assessment as a compass that points the way in the complex landscape of Automotive SPICE. It shows companies where they currently stand, which direction they should take and how they can efficiently achieve their goal - top quality.

At diprocon, we have built up expertise over the years that enables us to optimize this assessment and navigate companies safely through the Automotive SPICE framework. It is our goal that companies not only fulfill the requirements of the framework, but that they understand the principles behind it and use them to create real business value.

Our perspective on the Automotive SPICE Assessment


In the rapidly developing automotive industry, it is essential not only to keep pace, but to always be one step ahead. This cannot be achieved simply by following standards and specifications. We see the Automotive SPICE Assessment not just as a checkpoint, but as an integral part of continuous quality and process improvement.

Our philosophy

For us, the assessment is not an isolated process, but an opportunity to delve deep into the processes and structures of a company. It offers the chance to identify strengths and recognize potential for change. Our experts go beyond mere evaluation and offer valuable insights to accompany each company individually on its path to top performance.

More than just compliance

While compliance with standards and regulations is essential, our approach is about much more than just compliance. It's about creating real added value. The implementation of Automotive SPICE should not be seen as a mere duty, but as an opportunity to continuously improve and drive innovation. Through our assessment, we want to help companies not only achieve their compliance goals, but also optimize their processes, communication and ultimately their products.

Focus on real improvement

We firmly believe that real improvement can only be achieved if a company has the courage to question itself and is open to change. For us, the Automotive SPICE Assessment is a means of promoting this willingness to change and supporting companies in turning their visions into reality. The focus is always on people - because processes are only as good as the people who live them.

From preparation to implementation:
Your journey through the Automotive SPICE Assessment


The Automotive SPICE Assessment is not just an item on a checklist; it is a journey. A journey that every company goes through to improve its processes and products, adapt to industry standards and develop a clear vision for the future. With us, we guide you through every stage of this journey. At diprocon, we make sure you get the most out of your assessment.

1. initial planning and objectives

Before the actual assessment begins, we sit down with you to understand your current processes, define your goals and create a clear plan for the assessment. At this stage, we also clarify any questions or concerns you may have so that the whole process runs smoothly and efficiently.

In this phase, our experts collect all the necessary data about your current processes, products and systems. Through interviews, observations and document analyses, we gain a clear picture of your current status.

This is where the actual assessment begins. Our experts carry out a detailed analysis, compare your processes with the Automotive SPICE standards and identify areas where improvements are possible and necessary.

4. feedback and recommendations

Once the assessment has been completed, we will meet with you again to discuss the results. We not only offer an evaluation, but also specific, practical recommendations on how you can optimize your processes.

5. final evaluation and certification

In this final phase, you will receive a formal assessment and, if all criteria are met, the corresponding certification. But our collaboration does not end here - we will continue to support you as a partner after the assessment.
