+**Intent:** Producer Consumer Design pattern is a classic concurrency or threading pattern which reduces
+ coupling between Producer and Consumer by separating Identification of work with Execution of
+ Work..
+
+
+
+![alt text](./etc/producer-consumer.png "Producer Consumer")
+
+**Applicability:** Use the Producer Consumer idiom when
+
+* decouple system by separate work in two process produce and consume.
+* addresses the issue of different timing require to produce work or consuming work
