'Fast' is an adjective modifying the noun 'decision-making'. 'Decision-making' requires the hyphen, but no other is needed-- except for 'real-time' which, as an adjective, should be hyphenated also.

Sorry to trouble you again. The reported results show the validity of this approach for the delivery of fast, cost-effective and reliable information on phenol content. In this sentence do we need a hyphen for cost-effective since "and" comes after cost-effective. Kindly advise.

Yes 'cost-effective' is hyphenated, but it has nothing to do with the 'and'; it is because it is an adjective.
