There was a clinical study done about four years ago - the researchers discovered that stripping of membranes reduced the number of 'overdue' pregnancies and induction (forced intervention) of labor a week later. It definitely does act immediately.
Stripping of membranes releases small amounts of chemicals called prostaglandins. These chemicals start up a series of events that finally leads to labor. However, the initial part is focused on amplifying / multiplying the signal. That explains the delay
