3. Process capability determination
   The concept of process capability determination by using a process assessment model is based on a two-dimensional framework. The first dimension is provided by processes defined in a process reference model (process dimension). The second dimension consists of capability levels that are further subdivided into process attributes (capability dimension). The process attributes provide the measurable characteristics of process capability.
   用一个二维的概念来描述过程能力模型。 第一个维度是流程参考模型（流程维度）中定义的流程。 第二个维度由能力级别组成，这些级别进一步细分为流程属性（能力维度）。 过程属性使得过程能力具有可测性。

The process assessment model selects processes from a process reference model and supplements with indicators. These indicators support the collection of objective evidence which enable an assessor to assign ratings for processes according to the capability dimension. The relationship is shown in Figure 1:
过程评估模型从过程参考模型中选择一个过程并补充指标。 该指标用于收集客观证据，并允许评估员根据能力判断分配过程评级。 关系如图1所示。

3.1. Process reference model
Processes are grouped by process category and at a second level into process groups according to the type of activity they address. There are 3 process categories: Primary life cycle processes, Organizational life cycle processes and Supporting life cycle processes. Each process is described in terms of a purpose statement. The purpose statement contains the unique functional objectives of the process when performed in a particular environment. For each purpose statement a list of specific outcomes is associated, as a list of expected positive results of the process performance. For the process dimension, the Automotive SPICE process reference model provides the set of processes shown in Figure 2.

有3个流程类别：主要生命周期流程，组织生命周期流程和支持生命周期流程。 每个过程都是根据描述过程目标来描述的。 过程目标描述包括在特定环境中实施过程时的过程特定功能目标。 流程目标与流程结果列表相关联。 该过程结果是实施该过程时预期的理想结果列表。 Automotive SPICE过程参考模型为过程坐标提供了图2所示的一系列过程。

3.1.1. Primary life cycle processes category
The primary life cycle processes category consists of processes that may be used by the customer when acquiring products from a supplier, and by the supplier wh
