	Diversification strategy is currently used by enterprises to increase their stability and economic condition. It is not easy to realize the measurement of the process. The application of the parameter of entropy, which is well-known is physics, is one idea of parametrization. In the machinery industry, product diversification is connected with different consumers representing factories from different machinery sectors: mining, steel, building, agricultural and food. The possibility of estimation of the production diversification in the machinery industry by the application of the entropy-based parameters is discussed in the paper.
