What is this delay costing you?

A decision nobody makes, a supplier who is late, a sign-off that sits in someone's inbox. Click through three short parts and see the cost per week and in total.

1 · Work that waitsPeople who cannot carry on until the decision, approval or delivery arrives.

People waiting

Hours a week each one loses

Not their whole week: only the time they cannot use for other work, or spend on workarounds.

Cost of an hour

Or from a yearly salary: ÷ 2,080 hours × 1.3 for super, tax and overheads.

How long it has waited, or will

2 · Talking about it againThe meetings where the same point comes back without a decision.

People in the meeting

Length of the meeting

Times it came back

3 · What the delay holds backPer week. Leave a box empty if it does not apply.

How it is worked out

Work that waits: people × hours a week × cost of an hour × weeks. Talking about it again: people in the meeting × length × times × cost of an hour (once, not per week). What the delay holds back: (benefit + penalties + old way) × weeks.

Cost of an hour from a salary: salary ÷ 2,080 hours × 1.3. No multipliers or guesses on top: every figure comes from what you entered, so you can defend it in the meeting. A working day is a fifth of a week.
