Abstract. Let (S,=, ¹ ,·,s) be an ordered semigroup under an antiorder s. If S is a subdirect product of the ordered semigroup {Si: i Î I }, then there exists a family {si : i Î I} of quasi-antiorders on S which separates the elements of S. Conversely, if {si : i Î I } is a family of quasi-antiorders on S which separates the elements if S, then S is a subdirect product of the ordered semigroups {S / (si È(si)-1): i Î I }.
