The diagram showcases two primary distribution pathways: the traditional retail channel through brick-and-mortar stores, and the increasingly important online marketplace channel that connects manufacturers directly with customers.
Additionally, the feedback loop highlighted in the flowchart demonstrates the crucial role of customer feedback in shaping manufacturing processes, product development, and quality improvements. This cyclical relationship ensures that manufacturers remain responsive to market demands and consumer preferences, ultimately leading to better products and services.
