I'll never understand corporate america, true there are a ton of companies out there that haul in a lot of revenue, but it seems sometimes that companies don't want to make money.... I work for a company that manufactures and sells computer addon on equipment to the public. Through their own channels and through retail store channels. Even though forecasted sales are reported to the production line, the reality is that we run out of stock on a regular basis. So much so that we have procedures in place that tell us when to remove a product from the site so that it can't be ordered.

Recently I spoke with another friend of mine who worked in a similar company, and he said it was the same there. How can a company realize it's potential sales if they don't make the product to bring to market?

It just amazes me how sales goals are set and then undercut by not having the product that the customer wants, and that the sales team wants to sell!
