The heading of a block diagram is as follows:
La vie d'un **poste amodié**
This is followed by arrows with words such as "Occupe son poste" and "N'occupe plus son poste".
I know that "un contrat d'amodiation"
= a lease agreement.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Temporary position/location
Une amodiation est un acte juridique par lequel une autorité publique affecte à un particulier, une entreprise privée ou une collectivité un espace normalement inaliénable (domaine public) pour une durée limitée et, en principe, de façon réversible.

improved/enhanced/arranged
A little known but verified meaning of amodiation is, if I remember right, improvement, or "coming to an arrangement", maybe, "meeting in the middle" (the root mode is the same that gives us "medium", hence "middle".
It was asked a few months back and I gave a number of references at the time. One, I remember, was in astonished admiration of Jean-Marie Le Pen for having used the word in this sense.

Does it refer to a particularly tiring or tiresome job for which arrangements have been made so that the worker does not spend all day doing it, or something like that? Cf 'Occupe son poste" and "N'occupe plus son poste'.

amodier
verbe (droit) effectuer une amodiation, prendre un bail pour des terres à cultiver, ou la concession d'une mine contre une redevance régulière
amodiation = lease
http://www.reverso.net/text_translation.asp?lang=EN&dir=fren...
"En effet l'incertitude juridique concernant les amodiations a été levée par la CAAM de 08 octobre 2007 et cette décision profite aux quelques 20 000 actionnaires des ports de plaisance qui auront la possibilité d'obtenir de plein droit l'amodiation d'un poste d'accostage."

"Federal prosecutors investigating former Gov. Mike Easley and his wife took a new tack yesterday with grand-jury subpoenas looking for information about a marina lease that once drew an ethics complaint about him."
http://www2.journalnow.com/content/2009/jun/18/easley-invest...
But maybe "concessioned" or even "taken" would also do the job, according to context.

Discussion
It is a block diagram with arrows. Here is examples of the arrows and the text they contain:
HEADING: "Vie d'un poste amodié"
SUB-HEADING: Titulaire d'actions pour l'aménagement du port
"Occupe son poste" ---- "N'occupe plus son poste"
"Absence momantanée déclarée"
"Contrat d'amodiation" ---- "Retrait"
"Location du poste par le concessionaire et restitution partielle à l'amodiataire"
"Location du poste par le concessionaire au bénéfice du compte de la concession".
would this be "outsourced" function ?
"amodier" as in "farm out"?
