The paper also describes the functions of risk management which focus on instant decision making in terms of a clear action plan and measures aimed to limit the damages and control the enterprise’s budget.Purpose. The paperaims at exploring the key components of enterprise’s risk management, describing and documenting the functions of the system’s stakeholders.Materials and Methods. Theoretically and methodologically, the paper originates from the existing approaches to risk management for the companies, including an industrial enterprise. The approaches were analyzed to find the adequate purpose-oriented type of risk management for an enterprise –hierarchical. Results. The paper gives a scenario for risk management of an industrial enterprise (Center) in the event of a risk event involving third parties – system’s participants or Agents (an insurance company, waste disposal operator, repair company, bank). A target function of profit is constructed for each participant. Conclusion.

Further research will outline the types of functions for profit and damage of each participant in the system to specify the performance and interaction between the Center and Agents.
