Modern approach to management based on intellectualization which increases requirements to tools for assessment and forecasting all systems of the industrial enterprise, containing the methodological drawbacks statistic and mathematical nature which cause the information loss. Equilibrium state of the enterprise as a system is proposed to be used as a target objective and it means application of cenology theory tools Cenological approach to assessment and to management of equilibrium of systems of an industrial enterprise which allows solving problems of complexity and stochasticity of systems using relevant mathematical research apparatus and system of constraints is grounded in the article. The significant part of the enterprise systems belongs to cenotic type because they are a complex structure of its elements where classical statistic assessment to describe the system “as a whole” is not applicable.
