A comparison is made of production and logistics strategies based on Push and Pull strategies and the advantages and disadvantages of their application to the enterprise are analyzed. This makes it possible to make a choice between flow management systems according to the market conditions and the characteristics of internal processes in the enterprise. Was presented a mathematical model of choosing the construction`s principle of production-logistics system of the enterprise and practical recommendations for its implementation. A system of indicators characterizing the efficiency of the production and logistics system of the enterprise has been formed. The following indicators have been identified as key criteria influencing decision-making when choosing a production and logistics system: reliability of the supplier; availability of warehouse space; fluctuations in demand; productivity; quality of production. The evaluation of the indicators of JSC "Milk Alliance" showed that at this point in time the production and logistics system of the enterprise most fully meets the requirements of the pushing concept of flow management. At the same time, the analysis provided an opportunity to identify the directions that the company needs to work on in order to further transition to the principles of the pulling concept, namely the need to improve interactions with existing suppliers and search for new suppliers. It is determined that the selected problems at the enterprise are important factors of construction of production and logistics systems on the principles of extraction. Therefore, they can be used as criteria that influence the decision on the choice of production and logistics concept.
