Yulia Kislova underlined that, in general, the thesis work by D.A. Pustokhin makes a good impression and is completed in nature:  the author has formulated the problem, posed and solved a number of problems. The main results of the work, that contain scientific novelty, are the requirements for intralogistics systems of a manufacturing plant, which the author developed, (to optimize the inventory levels of stocks at the junctions of the material flow motion, to increase the flexibility of the production system, to create a rational set of logistics procedures to ensure an optimum level of quality of the material flow components) in the agreement with the end results of its operations, as well as the developed selection model of logistics concepts with the implementation to various industries on the basis of the generated key parameters of the intralogistics system of manufacturing enterprise and logistics concepts. It’s of great value, that the solutions concerning the implementation of logistics concepts are clearly shown by the example of various industries such as food processing, textiles, footwear, manufacture of wood products, the production of vehicles.

As an official opponent, Yulia Kislova has formulated a number of remarks and recommendations, which D.A. Pustokhin, a dissertator, will be able to take into account in his future research work.
