Abstract
A hardware right to repair prioritization system comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) to receive partial rankings of requirements for prioritizing an failing component replacement, where each requirement describes a characteristic having varied values across the failing components, a processor to generate a priority requirement ranking for all of the requirements, based on the partial rankings, determine a replacement priority rank for each failing component, based on characteristic values for each failing component and priority requirement ranking; determine a change in carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint resulting from replacement of each of the failing components, generate a CO2 optimized replacement priority rank by weighting the replacement priority rank by the change in CO2 footprint for each of the failing components; identify a failing component associated with a highest CO2 optimized replacement priority rank as a top replacement candidate, and the GUI to recommend immediate replacement of the top replacement candidate.
