The manufacturer is desribed in the Product entity.
The only other relationship to a product that I can
think of is the supplier and that is desribed in the
SupplierProduct entity.  Having a product manager,
again is probably managed easiest by putting the
product into a productCategory and managing the
productCategoryRoles on that. Outside of those
relationships, can you think of another that would
have to do with a product?
