# Industrial Specification: Retention Policy Engine

## 1. Technical Definition
A software component within a Log Manager that automates the enforcement of data retention policies based on configurable rules.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-100% CPU utilization, 1-1000 concurrent policy evaluations per second, 1-10000 GB storage capacity**. Failure boundary: **CPU utilization exceeding 95% for 300 seconds, memory usage exceeding 90% of allocated 16 GB RAM, storage capacity exceeding 95% of configured limit**, Mechanism: **Thermal throttling at 100°C junction temperature, memory bus saturation at 25.6 GB/s bandwidth, storage I/O bottleneck at 3500 MB/s read/write speed**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Memory leak accumulating 1 MB per policy evaluation | 8 | OutOfMemoryError after 16000 policy evaluations | Garbage collection optimization with 50 ms maximum pause time, memory pool allocation limits at 12 GB |
| Database connection pool exhaustion at 100 concurrent connections | 8 | Policy evaluation timeout after 5 seconds latency | Connection pooling with 150 maximum connections, query optimization using B-tree indexing with O(log n) complexity |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters

### Q: What is a Retention Policy Engine in computer manufacturing?
**A**: A software component within Log Manager systems that automatically enforces data retention policies based on configurable rules, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and efficient data management in electronics manufacturing.

### Q: How does the Retention Policy Engine handle different data types?
**A**: The engine uses a Policy Rule Parser to interpret configurable rules, a Scheduler to determine timing, and an Action Executor to apply appropriate retention actions (archive, delete, etc.) based on data classification and manufacturing requirements.

### Q: Why is automated retention policy enforcement important for optical product manufacturers?
**A**: Automated enforcement ensures consistent compliance with data regulations, reduces manual errors, optimizes storage costs, and maintains audit trails for quality control and regulatory requirements in sensitive manufacturing environments.
