Answer to Question 1

Good information requires that data be available in time for its intended use. A monthly report that arrives six weeks late is most likely useless. In such a case, the data has arrived long after the decisions that needed that information have been made. An information system that sends a poor customer credit report after the goods have been shipped is unhelpful and frustrating. Timeliness can be measured against a calendar (six weeks late) or against events (for example, before shipping).

Answer to Question 2
