Abstract

One approach to improving an organization’s activities is an approach aimed at regulating its capabili-ties. This approach is applied in many fields of activity, but most extensively and consistently in the defense sphere of developed countries, NATO, and recently in Ukraine. The scale and complexity of the tasks that need to be addressed within the capability-based approach make it necessary to support these activities with appropriate tools. In this paper, we propose a conceptual model of accounting and use of capabilities. This model, the principal feature of which is the distinction between nominal and actual activity plans, has two components: static and dynamic. The static component of the model is a set of entities, relationships between them, as well as attributes of entities and relationships between entities. The main entities are capability and carrier of capability. There are nominal carriers of capabilities (exist only on paper) and actual carriers (instances of nominal carrier, for which, at a minimum, the coordi-nates of their location can be specified). The division into types, as well as the use of metamodels for describing capabilities and carriers of capabilities are supposed. The requirements to both the capability and the carrier of the capability can be advanced. Both actual carriers of capabilities as a whole and their (actual) capabilities are subject to assessment. Dynamic component of the model – the activity support-ed by the model – breaks up into accounting and use of capabilities. The model is supplemented by a component that allows to record the requirements and assessments of the capability carrier with distri-bution to various components of its resource (DOTMLPF-distribution). The proposed model can be used as the basis for creating the appropriate information technology.
