An attempt to characterize the availability of the elements of a chain of action

Abstract

The paper presents a survey and analysis of the selected basic theses of some operational sciences and praxiology. This project is related to the ongoing research and development works on the description of the reliability of action. These works refer to the concept of such a description presented by Józef Konieczny within the framework of systems of action engineering (and formal praxiology). The original concept is universal and can be useful in reliability engineering, but its analysis, development and application require prior research on its foundations. For this reason, the aim of this work is to formulate observations and conclusions regarding the description of the state of availability of the individual elements of a chain of action – which is one of the many stages of the mentioned research and development works.
