Studied is the process of improvement of a given good trough precising the significance of its useful parameters. Recognized is the effect of significance (respectively insignificance) of the different parameters of the good when examining it as a system. The idea for evaluation of the top usefulness of the consumer depending on the significance of a specific useful parameter of the product is analyzed.
