This practical guide explains how to calculate, interpret, and improve OEE using real-world examples, enabling engineers, supervisors, and Lean practitioners to increase productivity, reduce downtime, and achieve world-class manufacturing performance.

Build optimization models that remain useful when forecasts are wrong. This practical guide connects uncertainty sets, robust counterparts, duality, budgets of uncertainty, and modern distributionally robust optimization with real operational applications and implementation advice.

Go beyond writing code and learn what it takes to build software that lasts. Fundamentals of Software Engineering walks you through requirements, architecture, testing, deployment and production using practical trade-offs and a real-world case study. Follow TaskFlow from its first requirement to a system built to scale, evolve and survive the real world.

Move beyond AI demos and build agents that can actually run IT operations. This practical guide takes you from MCP fundamentals to production-ready monitoring, incident response, remediation, Kubernetes operations, security and multi-agent systems, with complete runnable code and a strong focus on safe autonomy.

This is your complete guide to building rhythmic, waste-free production cells that deliver quality at speed—just in time.

Local Intelligence shows you how to run large language models entirely on your Mac with Apple Silicon. Learn to use tools like Ollama, MLX, and llama.cpp, understand quantization, and build real local AI applications with open-source code.

Master cloud security with confidence using this comprehensive CCSP study guide. Covering all six CCSP domains, it combines clear explanations, real-world examples, and exam-focused practice to help you succeed on the certification exam while building practical cloud security skills for your career.

Application sandboxing is the foundation of secure modern computing. This book explores the principles, architectures, and technologies behind containers, virtual machines, browser sandboxes, WebAssembly, and more, explaining how they isolate untrusted code, where their security boundaries break down, and how to choose the right approach for real-world systems.

Unlock the hidden potential of your engine with nitrous oxide (NOS) systems, one of the most powerful and precise performance enhancers available. This volume provides a comprehensive, engineering-focused guide to safely installing, tuning, and optimizing nitrous systems for maximum performance and reliability.

Build a Linux operating system from source with only the components you need. Learn how the kernel, boot process, system utilities, libraries and package management work together while gaining the practical skills to build and maintain your own Linux distribution.

Compressed air is the most expensive utility in every factory — yet it is also the most wasted. This book reveals the hidden losses that silently drain 20–45% of energy from your system. Through practical diagnostics, real case studies, and proven strategies.

One of the most important things to consider in lean manufacturing is takt time. This is the rate at which customers want a certain group of products to be produced by one step in the manufacturing process. Takt time is a number that tells us how much time we have to make each item that the customer wants.

This book is basically a record of my serious learning journey with Zig. The application at its heart, Zigkit, started as a single print statement and ended as twenty-five cooperating modules handling everything from arithmetic to HTTP. It's small enough to understand completely and complete enough to demonstrate every major systems programming concern. Each section of the book adds one module, introduces one concept, and produces one working program.

In a galaxy not so far, far away… You have just received a set of requirements—or desires disguised as requirements—wild needs or want statements vaguely describing some notion of what the system should do. Now what? Where do you start with the specifications? Rule One: Don’t Panic, and reach for Engineering on Purpose!

Before containers, service meshes, and modern security platforms, qmail showed how much could be achieved with Unix processes, file permissions, queues, and discipline.
