Abstract
Several decomposition types of orders and related discrete structures have been investigated so far. In this paper, we present a decomPositi on for orders based on partial ''ignoring'' of the order. Structures t hat are in a certain sense ''prime'' turn out to be decomposable. The relation to other decomposition methods is analyzed. Bounds for activi ty networks and reliability functions are obtained. (C) 1994 John Wile y & Sons, Inc.
