# Industrial Specification: Priority Handler

## 1. Technical Definition
A software component within Job Queue Manager that manages task execution order based on priority levels.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-100% CPU utilization at 3.0 GHz base frequency**. Failure boundary: **Memory allocation exceeding 2 GB RAM or thread count exceeding 50 concurrent processes**, Mechanism: **Memory fragmentation causing heap exhaustion or thread starvation due to priority inversion**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Priority inversion during semaphore acquisition | 8 | Deadlock condition halting all task processing | Priority inheritance protocol implementation with timeout of 500 ms |
| Memory leak in priority queue data structure | 8 | Heap exhaustion at 1.8 GB RAM usage | Garbage collection algorithm with reference counting and 30-second cleanup cycle |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | tasks/sec | Verified |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: How does Priority Handler improve machinery manufacturing efficiency?
**A**: Priority Handler optimizes task execution order in Job Queue Manager by dynamically reordering tasks based on priority levels, reducing downtime and improving production flow in machinery manufacturing operations.

### Q: What components are included in the Priority Handler BOM?
**A**: The Priority Handler includes three core software modules: Priority Evaluator for assessing task importance, Queue Reorder Module for dynamic task sequencing, and Conflict Resolver for handling priority conflicts in manufacturing systems.

### Q: Can Priority Handler integrate with existing manufacturing equipment software?
**A**: Yes, Priority Handler is designed as a modular software component that can integrate with existing Job Queue Manager systems in machinery manufacturing environments through standard APIs and protocols.
