In the article a cognitive map of an organization whose activities are related to the sale of rolled metal products is presented. The constructed map is investigated analyzing the impulse processes occurring in the constructed system. It is assumed that the system may be affected by random factors such as economic and social crises, examples of which may be a lockdown during a pandemic, military actions in the country, sanctions, etc., as well as weather conditions, which, although accidental, are more predictable than economic and social cataclysms. The processes are investigated for impulse and absolute stability. The possibilities of increasing stability in the system are analyzed. The methods of increasing stability in the system are proposed in order to preserve profits in the rolled metal sales enterprise.
