When managing complex systems, for example, an industrial enterprise, an organization, a socio-economic system, etc., it is necessary to take into account the fact that they can be considered as polystructural systems, i.e. as a set of heterogeneous systems, interconnected. A poly-structural system is understood to mean a variety of different components, differing in physical properties, functional purpose, complexity of the internal structure, representing a single whole. The article deals with the management of a polystructural system based on the preparation of management decision making by experts who can evaluate an alternative from the standpoint of a specialist of several elements of a polystructural system. To develop methods for determining and selecting an informed management solution, a polystructural system is considered from the standpoint of system theory and system analysis. A mathematical model is developed, which is the basis for creating information and algorithmic support for the management of the polystructural system.
