Basic principles of a scenario approach application to research of a problem of functioning and devel-opment of distributed manufacturing systems (DMS) are stated. The problem of stable system functioning is examined. The formalized concept of the stable scenario functioning DMS is entered. There are examined synergistic and attractive scenarios of development. For synergistic scenarios the modes providing stable, noncrisis development DMS are studied. For attractive scenarios the new type of management technologies is defining: the distributed package management technology (DPM-technology). Methods and examples of formation of such scenarios are offered on the basis of behavior model, submitted in language oriental graphs.
