Using R to Create Reproducible Engineering Test Reports
summary
R scripts plus a Shiny app generate FDA‑formatted Word engineering test reports, cutting production from 36 hours to 1 hour and scaling across ~1,000 reports/year. Implementation uses Rmarkdown/knitr, pandoc, officer and flextable to inject dynamic headers and styled tables, qcc and ggqc for normality and process capability (with Cpk < 1.3 requires rationale), input checks for outliers and text normalization, and deployment on a Johnson & Johnson Shiny Server so users one‑click produce compliant, reviewable Word documents. officer + flextable for Word tables
