Abstract
We consider the management branch model where the random resources of the subsystem are given by the exponential distributions. The determin ate equivalent is a block structure problem of quadratic programming. It is solved effectively by means of the decomposition method, which i s based on iterative aggregation. The aggregation problem of the upper level is resolved analytically. This overcomes all difficulties conce rning the large dimension of the main problem.
