The new economy and the American manufacturers not filling the empty shelves in the retail channels? Manufacturing has not been visiting retail shelf space available to plan on new products' introduction. Retail has been going gang busters. And the products you want to buy seldomly has restock been on time. Why? Retail has a distribution system that starts from manufacturing then small stocking distributors, who are shelf stockers. Manufacturing not using these middlemen did not take advantage of the extra shelf space for their inventory. Many of these shelf stockers are recruited in the classified section of the news paper. With these shelf stockers, the manufacturers will be producing twice the quantity yearly in order to supply the demand. There will always be stock available for customers looking for them. As computer and contact management software gets better they should include the levels in the distribution system for contacts in virtual lan and push technology for quick sales contact or promotions. This new economy has much to learn to get the distribution system to the manufacturers for them to expand.
