Relevance. Due to the uniqueness of technological stands in the conditions of continuous technological development, designers and users – manufacturers are faced with the problem of choosing priority characteristics of technological stands taking into account the requirements put forward to this specific equipment, among which the main place is given to the efficiency parameter. The purpose of this article is to develop criteria and methods for assessing the efficiency of technological stands in the conditions of technological development, taking into account the need to eliminate the limitations of the multi-criteria evaluation approach. The methodology of this study is based on the mathematical apparatus of the theory of management decision-making. In particular, in this article the author relied on the methodology of the multi-criteria evaluation approach based on the technique of pairwise comparison and analysis of hierarchies of efficiency parameters. Results. The methodology for assessing the efficiency of technological stands in the conditions of technological development has been improved using the method of hierarchy analysis, the   meaning of which lies in the decomposition of the problem into its constituent parts, as well as in the processing of the obtained results by the methods of mathematical statistics. Conclusions. The implementation of this method involves ranking the performance indicators obtained by processing subjective expert assessments. In order to reduce the possible subjectivity error for processing expert information, it is proposed to use the Kemeny median method. Practical implementation of the proposed improved methodology for assessing potential efficiency based on the use of the hierarchy analysis method in the information system for making decisions regarding the technical equipment of technological stands will ensure the required efficiency in performing production tasks
