✦ Synopsis

Due to interdependence reasons, the performance of a section of a system, affects signi~cantjy the pe~ormance of a subset of sections or possibly the performance of the whole system. The performance of a section is influenced by factors which do not affect the performance of the other sections of the system. These particular factors, which characterize the section, may be designated as intrinsic factors. The alteration of the performance of a section caused by the interaction of the performance variations of a subset of sections of the system, is apparently obvious.

In this paper we detected the section to which alteration of the intrinsic factors optimize the performance and effectiveness of its system.

The paper is concluded by a numerical exampfe which derives from the application of a computer program, the algorithm of which corresponds to the proposed method.
