A delay is the entrance of an event at expiration of one period (timing) or a date. It is the opposite of on-time departure performance.

It can itself around a meeting of several persons (e.g. Conference, consulting hour) or around the arrival and/or the departure of means of transport acts.

Causes

Traffic: unfavorable weather, technical defects, human errors, strike, terrorism, military conflicts

Persons: Overslept, means of transport, other activities (e.g. detailed calls), forgetfulness, wrong indication of time

In many cases one can prevent a delay, by setting the influenceable factors with a minimum of importance and in addition for the not influenceable factors time buffer takes into account.

Consequences

If a delay occurs, then the scheduling is disturbed, i.e. all tied dates and projects (e.g. Takeoff) must be shifted or rejected.

In the traffic sector partial requirements for compensation develop on the part of the Nachfragers, e.g. due to lost vacation joys. Delays can have there as a consequence that a connection (connections) cannot be taken up (to transfer), so that unplanned stays at transfer places are necessary.

As employees delays can affect themselves with the beginning of work negatively, because one does not keep and as unreliable is regarded defaults. This can lead when many repetitions also to warnings or (rather rarely) to the notice. In the academic life by meetings with the academic quarter of an hour perhaps traditionally time buffer for the itself appearing is granted to participants. In the working life it is at some employers since the end 20. Century possible to work in flexible working hours whereby it is possible for the employee, its beginning of work each day to specify (it must be present however during the core time). Perhaps in the tax law from the taxpayer an extra charge for delayed payment is raised.
