Light assembly, blending, kitting

*Kits are how some manufacturers sell parts. By selling the parts in a kit, the manufacturer gains economies of scale in things like transportation costs. It also saves administrative costs because rather than billing for and keeping track of each part, the manufacturer only has to keep track of the kit. Kitting is also a light manufacturing technique in whichassembly workers, sometimes in a warehouse, get all thecomponent parts of what they are assembling in a singlekit so that time is not lost looking for parts.
