The Individual estimation - an estimation of activity of separate industrial object out of comparison with achievements of other similar objects, characterising efficiency of development but the trajectory of movement chosen by it. group estimation - an estimation of results of activity of comparable industrial systems or, in other words, an estimation of efficiency of the given way of development in comparison with variants of development of considered industrial objects.

The Etalonno-comparative estimation - an estimation based on comparison of actual results with reference values of corresponding indicators. as standards can be the minimum, average or maximum values of generalising indicators on group of compared industrial objects are taken. Reference values are also the planned and standard values of the basic indicators representing the tasks, in aggregate describing that final state of the economy of industrial object to which achievement activity of its collective should be directed. comparative estimation - an estimation based on comparison of actual results of activity of comparable industrial objects among themselves (or with last achievements, or with other variants of development), instead of with reference values of compared indicators.

The Dynamic estimation - an estimation of development of economy of the industrial object, reflecting character and a direction of its changes in time. The dynamic estimation is under construction on comparison of values of productive indicators during the various periods of time. A static estimation - an estimation of state of the economy of industrial object at present (statics).
