Hello, teachers

What does "small parts and bulk" mean?
It seems the term for a production control system.

Please help me, please.

Hi,

In production, manufacturing or distribution, you can buy in parts or you can buy in bulk.

When you buy in parts, you are buying small quantities.

When you buy in bulk, you are buying large quantities of each item. Often, you get a discount for buying in bulk, as well as getting better billing terms.
