FastR&D is a sophisticated but easy-to-use software tool that assists an R&D chemist or engineer in developing better products, faster and at lower costs.

What does it do for me?

Meet R&D and Business needs

	Reduce time to market by 20 to 50%
	Quickly develop custom products
	Reduce R&D costs - labor, materials, testing, waste disposal
	Maximize performance - products, processes, profits
	Retain specific knowledge
	Ease technology transfer to Manufacturing, Tech Support, Customers

Effectively meet a R&D scientist's needs

	Which experiments do I run?
	How do I analyze the data?
	What are key cause and effect relationships?
	What is the optimum recipe/process/economics?
	Will quality be consistent from batch to batch?

How does it work?

FastR&D combines statistical methods, optimization theories, and systems approach to product/process knowledge development and management. It frees up scientists from data drudgery and provides more time for creativity and keeping up with the technology. It is easy-to-use software that guides a chemist/engineer through structured, step-wise product/process development process. To further empower the R&D chemist/engineer, many computing tasks are fully automated.

1. Suggests experiments to run using proven "design of experiments," "Taguchi designs" types of approaches.
2. Analyzes existing and new experimental data.
3. Displays graphics.
4. Builds empirical statistical models and simplifies them.
5. Generates optimum solutions for a variety of cases.
6. Permits chemists/engineers to generate custom solutions through What If scenarios.
7. Generates most of the graphics and tables for technical reports and substantially eliminates the time and effort needed to write them.
8. Stores all the information in a readily retrievable integrated database that permits instant access to all the data and knowledge that can be deployed "just-in-time" through What If capability:

1. manufacturing support,
2. tech support for your customers, and
3. rapidly developing and marketing new custom products.

9. Makes your staff consultants more effective by automating routine tasks, freeing them to concentrate on tougher problems.
10. Reduces supervision time. Standardization of analysis, graphics and report formats makes it easy to browse through what has been done. You also have comfort level that "state of the art" practices are routinely being used. The BEST you can do is indeed the optimum solution with rigorous mathematical backing.
11. Attaches electronic post-it notes to capture transient ideas and insights. Share them with all users.
12. Enables organization to painlessly achieve paradigm shift.

FastR&D continuously helps your organization capitalize on all the knowledge accumulated in the system. The more you use it, the more powerful it becomes,  and the faster you can respond to your customers, the faster you can grow.
