This pocket guide is aimed at practitioners in the field of mechatronic systems development for vehicles: project managers, developers and engineers who want to improve their workflows and coordinate collaboration across the board.

With plug-ins for mechanical development and hardware development, they can now use the Automotive SPICE^® process reference model, which is well established in system and software development, as a uniform framework for the development of complete mechatronic systems. The pocket guide provides them with a basic introduction to this. The standard texts for each of the required processes are presented in a structured manner to ensure a common understanding among all participants. In addition, there are overviews of dependencies in project coordination and the references required by Automotive SPICE^® (traceability). Easy to have at hand, the practical pocket guide supports the daily work in the development project.

SPICE applied on mechatronic systems

Automotive SPICE^® is the Central European automotive industry's reference model for improving and evaluating processes. It is used in the development of mechatronic systems with a focus on the software and system parts of the product. From version 3 of the model, it is possible to extend Automotive SPICE^® to include other engineering disciplines.

Experts from the automotive industry have presented plug-ins for both the hardware and the mechanics. These are in use in numerous companies. The plug-ins were published under the co-lead of Kugler Maag Cie under the aegis of intacs™, an independent community of interest of experts and assessors.
