Automotive Process Framework
CREATING PROCESSES FROM SCRATCH IS TIME CONSUMING
The Automotive Process Framework (APF) accelerates process definition and rollout significantly through
- Ready-to-use foundation for the creation of initial processes
- Extendable process templates to fit your organization’s needs
- Cohesive process architecture that integrates multiple overlapping, often inconsistent, and sometimes contradictory standards
Cut down development time of standards-compliant engineering processes from 1-2 years to just 6-9 months at a much lower cost.
COMPLIANT WITH STANDARDS
The Automotive Process Framework covers the project scopes of the following standards:
- Automotive SPICE® 3.1 focusing on the VDA scope Quality Management in the Automotive Industry
- ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Road vehicles - Cybersecurity engineering
- ISO 26262:2018 Road vehicles - Functional safety
- Hardware SPICE® 2.1
- Mechanical SPICE® 1.8
Become standard-compliant in a fraction of the time.

CASE STUDY: WHY AND HOW MAHLE ADOPTED THE APF
HOW TO BEST ADOPT APF
We recommend an iterative-incremental adoption:
- Start with the most critical needs and focus on typical projects
- Integrate your existing practices, templates, checklists, etc.
- Involve all stakeholders in reviews and approvals
- Pilot with a few supportive projects as soon as possible
In essence: deploy early, iterate often.
