The last considered political, economic, social and technological factors. The article provides a recommendation about the impact of the unstable macro-surroundings on the activities of engineering companies. It is proposed practical measures that could potentially increase the production potential of the machine-building enterprises of national economy. Among the factors that have a significant impact on the productive capacity of engineering enterprises were underlined: unstable external and internal markets, lack of investment resources, worsening of tightness of cooperation between enterprises of related industries within the national economy
