Abstract: Any multistage process may be constructed by a sequence of serial and/or parallel compositions. With certain restrictions on the form of the return composition function, optimal processes may be constructed in an efficient manner from optimal subprocesses. A number of simple sufficient conditions on the return functions are given and several approximation procedures are outlined.
