Relevance of research topic. One of the effective methods of choosing strategies of increasing the efficiency of enterprises’ economic activity in various industries can be a comprehensive economic diagnosis as a means to adjust the strategy and tactics of manufacturers and identify effective ways for their further development. Formulation of the problem. Today’s difficult economic conditions require not only to stabilize the enterprises’ commercial activity but also to increase production efficiency and competitiveness in the market of products and services. A means to increase the enterprises’ efficiency is to conduct a comprehensive economic diagnosis. This is of particular relevance for the country’s dairy enterprises due to the specifics of supply and marketing, perishable produce, and the crisis of the dairy market for today.
