Drawer slide pair versus single rail pack — sale units per supplier pack scenarios.
How does changing sale units per supplier pack affect drawer slide pair versus single rail pack when the other inputs stay fixed?
What this decision changes

Method basis: Required sale units = supplied drawers × supplied pairs per drawer × (1 when sold as pairs, 2 when sold as individual rails). Does not select slide capacity, length, clearances, hardware compatibility or mounting screws.
The focus is sale units per supplier pack. All other shared inputs remain fixed for each evaluated range.
