Independent demand for components and subassemblies is not tied to the demand of a higher-level item. These typically come from repair, maintenance, and service activities, where components are needed on their own rather than as part of a finished product.
''Independent demand... includes service/replacement parts and maintenance repair operating supplies.''

Scrap allowance seems less likely to be a source for small demands, but I guess it could apply in some cases.

I’m leaning towards original equipment manufacturers for this one, but I can’t recall if they typically generate small orders.

I remember a practice question that mentioned warehouse orders, but I feel like that's more about bulk rather than small demands.

I think small, independent demands usually come from repair and service requirements, but I'm not entirely sure.
