First, our processes constantly ask us to specify requirements. Then we have to bother with quite a lot of documents and specifications. Even the relevant literature cannot explain to me in an understandable way what the difference between all these requirements is supposed to be. And finally, an assessor comes and evaluates my specification as insufficient.
This is the end of it! In this webinar we want to bring levels into our requirements chaos. Using simple examples, we will show the different types of requirements and learn a few helpful methods for working with requirements.

Automotive SPICE® 4.0 - The next major update of the most used process assessment model

The Automotive SPICE® process assessment model is facing significant changes with its new version 4.0. The goal of the VDA QMC changes is to add cybersecurity-specific processes to the model to meet regulatory requirements such as those of UNECE R155 for managing cybersecurity risks in supply chains. At the same time, missing development disciplines such as for hardware as well as the new topic of machine learning will be included. But it's not just the process dimension that will change; there are also some critical updates to consider in the capability dimension.
With all these changes, the question arises as to who should evaluate the implementation of these processes for their adequacy, for example in the context of type approval.
Our free webinar highlights this issue on the assessor side and presents both the currently defined process as well as the future intacs® training program.

Hardware SPICE - When electronics development becomes part of our system

Wait, hasn't the development of electrics and electronics always been part of our systems? In principle yes, but the development was largely self-sufficient and the existing interfaces were often neglected. However, as our systems are becoming more and more complex, and both the consideration of the interfaces and the synchronization of development become more and more important, we have to change our way of thinking. Hardware SPICE regards the development of electrics and electronics as part of such systems and is intended to help bring structure and maturity to this development. This enables the maturity of complete systems to be viewed and assessed and prepares us for the challenges of safety and security. In this webinar we want to take a look at the Hardware SPICE standard and get to know how it can be helpful to us in the future.

Skills and training requirements for new topics such as cybersecurity

Language: English
Speaker: Bernhard Sechser
Cybersecurity - a topic that is currently on everyone's lips and affects every company that wants to survive in the automotive industry in the future. In addition to the already high demands on the quality and functional safety of the systems developed for a highly complex vehicle, topics such as access protection, threat defense, security strategies, etc. are now being added. For the developers of such systems themselves, it is already difficult to know and consider all the necessary aspects. But beyond that, there must be other, independent, and objective people who must be able to evaluate the implemented solutions, both technically and in terms of systematical development.
Automotive SPICE® is a process assessment model that is demanded by vehicle manufacturers as the basis for almost all these systems. In Functional Safety according to ISO 26262, it is often equated with the "QM" level. However, the topic has never officially managed to be integrated into Automotive SPICE®.
When it comes to cybersecurity, things are quite different. In its rule R155, the UNECE requires, among other things, that vehicle manufacturers identify and manage cybersecurity risks in the supply chain. In this context, Automotive SPICE® is named as an appropriate method to identify process-related product risks by adding cybersecurity-specific processes. But here, too, the question arises as to who should and can check these processes for adequacy, especially in the context of type approval, where a positive assessment result will become crucial. Until now, there have been no specific requirements for this.
Our webinar aims to shed light on this problem on the assessor side and to present both the currently defined procedure and the future intacs™ training scheme.

The process model for the evaluation of mechanical development "SPICE for Mechanical Engineering" has been available for several years now. Up to now, the focus was on the implementation of improvement measures and the update of development processes.
Bridging the gap between a standard based on a software-based model (Automotive SPICE®) and the classical world of mechanical development still poses major challenges. This webinar therefore addresses the following questions:
Bridging the gap between a standard based on a software-based model (Automotive SPICE®) and the classical world of mechanical development still poses major challenges. This webinar therefore addresses the following questions:
- Why do I need SPICE for Mechanical Engineering?
- Which processes are described?
- What is the difference between system, mechanical and product development?
- What are typical results that are evaluated in an assessment?
- How do Automotive SPICE® and SPICE for Mechanical Engineering work together?
- What experience has already been gained from assessments?

Pitfall "micromanagement in projects"
Date: 20.07.2021, 4 pm (CET/CEST)

Micromanagement is an important indicator of an immature organization.
Why is it that large parts of the management are not aware of what micromanagement is, what causes it and what serious effects it can have?
The webinar will answer these questions and show what effects micromanagement has on the motivation of project staff and what effects can be expected on quality and schedules.
We will look at how micromanagement can be safely prevented without loss of control.

In February 2021, the VDA yellow print "Automotive SPICE® for Cybersecurity" was published.
Based on ISO/IEC 33020:2015 and ISO/SAE 21434, it defines a process assessment model that extends the well-known Automotive SPICE® model.
Guidelines including rules and recommendations are also included.
But what does this mean? What is in store for assessors and development projects?
