Abstract

The paper presents the first stage of the development of an approach named Circularity Impact and Failure Analysis (CIFA) aiming to become an integral part of a design for circularity strategy. The paper presents the first results of the prescriptive work toward the development of CIFA, limiting the circularity considerations to the integration of obsolescence and recyclability considerations in the FMEA. The paper presents the logic and the rationale of the approach and exemplifies the application of the approach to the case of a bicycle V-brake.

Keywords: circular economy, systems engineering (SE), early design phase, FMEA, Circularity Impact and Effect Analysis
