In addition to defining the disposal strategy, what else does a disposal plan impose?

A disposal plan encompasses not only the strategic approach to dispose of a system but also imposes associated constraints on system requirements. This is because the way a system is disposed of can significantly impact how it was designed and developed. For instance, if a system must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, this may necessitate specific materials to be used in the design to ensure they are recyclable or safe to dispose of.

Additionally, legal and regulatory constraints regarding disposal can impose restrictions on how the system should be constructed or what features it might include. These considerations must be woven into the overall system requirements from early in the development process to ensure compliance and feasibility of the disposal strategy.

Focusing solely on performance targets or design changes would not adequately address the implications that disposal may have on the overall system requirements, as these are more about operational capacity and future functionality than the necessary constraints placed by the disposal conditions. Resource allocation for maintenance, while important, pertains primarily to the ongoing management of the system rather than the end-of-life considerations related to its disposal.
