# Industrial Specification: Policy Rule Parser

## 1. Technical Definition
A software component that interprets and processes structured policy rules within a retention policy management system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1000 rules/second processing rate**. Failure boundary: **Processing latency exceeding 200 ms per rule or memory consumption exceeding 512 MB**, Mechanism: **Heap memory fragmentation causing garbage collection thrashing at 85% JVM heap utilization**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Malformed XML policy rule exceeding 64KB size limit | 8 | DOM parser stack overflow at 1024 recursion depth | Implement SAX parsing with 256KB buffer and depth validation |
| Concurrent rule processing exceeding 8 threads on 4-core CPU | 8 | Thread contention causing 300% CPU utilization and thermal throttling at 95°C | Implement thread pool with 4-worker limit and queue-based load balancing |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is a Policy Rule Parser in manufacturing retention systems?
**A**: A Policy Rule Parser is a software component that interprets structured policy rules within retention policy management systems, ensuring manufacturing compliance through lexical analysis, syntax parsing, and semantic validation.

### Q: How does the Policy Rule Parser handle different rule formats?
**A**: The parser uses a lexical analyzer to tokenize input, a syntax parser to structure tokens according to grammar rules, and a semantic validator to ensure logical consistency, supporting various industrial policy formats.

### Q: Why is AST optimization important in policy rule parsing?
**A**: AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) optimization improves processing efficiency by simplifying rule structures, reducing computational overhead, and enhancing performance in manufacturing retention policy management systems.
