Summary/Abstract: Introduction. The paper puts forward existing approaches to the assessment of enterprise potential by adding the peculiarities of the processes related to identification of the relevant potential. This allows the authors to represent such notion as the ≪potential for the development of enterprise facilities≫. The article explains the essence of such potential via two attributes: the ability to forming an effective combination of elements of enterprise potential and the ability to reassess the combination of elements of enterprise potential. Purpose. The proposed type of enterprise potential is extremely important for the management system. Nevertheless, management of the enterprise requires accurate quantitative characteristics regarding the level of its potential. Thus, it is necessary to develop a methodical approach to quantify the level of enterprise potential. Methods. To achieve the foreseen objectives, the authors have applied the method of Fuzzy Logic Conclusion and obtained an integrated value of the potential development of enterprise facilities. The construction of fuzzy variables is based on the histogram of distribution of quantitative indicators. Results. Based on the method mentioned above, the authors have created a mechanism to quantify the level of enterprise by using a hierarchical fuzzy logic conclusion model, which was done in the fuzzyTech program environment. The first level of the proposed model is associated with the evaluation of the local quantitative and qualitative indicators of the level of potential. The rest levels of the model (from the second to the fourth) level were used to calculate integral values of the potential by using the rule-based connection of model parameters. Conclusions. The assessment of the potential for the development of enterprise facilities makes it possible to define different features of the enterprise’s strategic behaviour while implementing existing potential. This possibility is based on the use of the strategic matrix which can be defined as ≪the level of potential development - degree of enterprise potential transformation capacity≫. This matrix is also described in the article.
