A piece of machinery has reached the end of its manufacturing life cycle and is due to be disposed of. What is the process that must take place for this to occur?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Decommissioning is the process of safely retiring equipment from use. It involves steps such as cleaning, dismantling, and responsibly disposing of the asset, especially if it contains hazardous materials. Whole-life asset management includes decommissioning as a key phase, ensuring that assets are disposed of cost-effectively and in compliance with environmental standards.

Decommissioning, hands down. Unless they plan on turning it into a modern art sculpture or something. That would be a real 'decommission'-ing, if you ask me!

Decommissioning is the way to go. It's like when you retire an old car - gotta do it the right way, you know?

I believe whole-life costing is more about evaluating costs over the entire life cycle of the machinery, not specifically for disposal.

But isn't whole-life costing also important in this situation?

D) Decommissioning is the correct answer. I mean, what else are they gonna do, throw it in the dumpster? That's a recipe for disaster!
