Delay research refers to studies that investigate the causes, effects, and management of delays in various processes or systems. This could include delays in transportation systems, communication networks, production processes, or decision-making processes. Researchers in this area often seek to understand the factors contributing to delays, such as bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or unexpected events, and develop strategies to minimize or mitigate these delays. The ultimate goal of delay research is to improve the efficiency, performance, and reliability of systems by reducing or eliminating delays.
