I'm not sure this is the answer you are looking for, but in short, product packaging is either the package/container that a product will go into or the process of putting a product into it's packaging.  If you are looking for a more specific answer feel free to ask with more details.

Drop shipment or [drop shipping] is a type of retailing where the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead passes the customer's order and shipment details to the wholesaler, who then dispatches the goods to the customer directly. The retailer makes their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.\n\nSome retailers may still keep "show" items on display in stores, so that customers can inspect an item similar to those that they can purchase. Other retailers may only provide a catalogue or Internet presence.\n\nDrop shipping can occur when a retailer (who typically sells in small quantities to the general public) receives a single large order for a product. Rather than route the shipment through the retail store, the retailer will arrange for the goods to be shipped directly to the purchaser

Manufactureres prefer longer runs - because the set up time is a fixed cost - so more runs means that cost is apportioned off several runs so its incremental costs is less...a larger lot means again economies of scale\n\nretailers want the opposite they want small lots and frequent deliveries -why? smaller lots and frequent deleiveries mean the holding and warehousing cost is less for them plus since trends move fats they would rather holds less stock than more. Because at the end of the day - holding stock doesn't make money but moving stock (or selling it) does...\n\nSo both parties need to compromise on the level of deliveries and work out the best partnership that makes both parties benefit...because the retailer needs the manufacturer...

No. Quite the opposite, drop-shipping enables many entrepreneurs (beginners in business) to have their supplier send small orders out to customers for them, thereby eliminating the need for warehousing or inventory. Many wholesalers will drop-ship for a fledgling business owner. Good Question!

I have a distribution center in Texas where you can send everything and from there it can be delivered to your customers. If your volume is high I can open a new Distribution Center in California.

I was answering another similar question, and I came across a website that has a downloadable sample spreadsheet for doing statistical distributions.  Play with this and see if it helps you out.

The supply chain goes something like this:\n\nManufacturer - Wholesaler/Distributor - Retailer - End User\n\nVolume is the key.  The manufacturer prefers to sell to wholesalers because they buy in high volumes and therefore they can buy at a lower price.  This format trickles down the supply chain, all the way to the end user. If you are looking for products you can buy then sell on eBay, you probably won't buy direct from the manufacturer. Wholesalers are your best chance but they prefer to deal in high volumes.  Depending on the product, the mark up from wholesaler and retailer is 30% each. Good luck

The advantages are that these 'distribution' methods can cover a broader geographic area than can traditional retail.  Using things like the home shopping network and mail order, in addition to the Internet, a retailer - especially a specialty retailer - can cover a large geographic area.\n\nMany people believe that the notion of 'non-store' retailing will continue to grow.  I tell retail clients that smart retailers should seriously look at adding a non location component to their distribution mix.  Sears has always done this, and companies such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart are also using the Internet for this alternate form of distribution.

It is basically the behavior of the values in a population.  A distribution describes what the possible values of the population are, and which values are more common than others.

This is the new term for industrial engineer.\n\nWork in this field (which is what I do!) is filled with statistics, process control, and quality adherance. You could spend days calculating BOMs, routings, optimizing capacity and schedules, or inventory. Many process engineers like puzzles and like to continue to work at the same problem, trying to improve on specific value measures over time- things like machine down time, usage rates and batch efficiencies, days on hand of inventory, etc.\n\nI find the field to be a more people oriented form of engineering, more interactive and creative. I migrated to it from the lab-techy engineering areas of chemical and mechanical. I enjoy it!
