Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) is a process assessment method tailored for the automotive industry that defines six levels of process capability. It evaluates companies and suppliers across engineering, acquisition, support, management and other process groups. The assessment determines process maturity and provides guidelines for process improvement according to automotive industry best practices. It aims to reduce common project failures in areas like project management, configuration management, and requirements engineering.
