Just to clarify, we need the relation is_manufacturer_of, creating the
inverse of this would be appropriate. The relation is_supplier_of
would be in addition to the manufacture_of relation, not in replace
of. However, manufactures can also be suppliers e.g
gel tank
Sigma is_manufacturer_of gel_tank
Sigma is_supplier_of gel_tank
FIlter paper
paper_products is_manufacturer_of filter paper
fisher_scientific is_supplier_of filter paper

The is_supplier relation is a synonym of is vendor_of. If you want to
be more specific in the mechanism of supply, we could do this by
roles, e.g vendor_role, distributor_role, manufacturer_role

Something that is manufactured, occurs by the organization
participating in a process. This is why we have the relation,
is_manufactured_by as opposed to is_manufacture_of. The relations
realizes is of similar form. Following this form the deliverables we
need are:
is_manufactured_by <--> manufactures
is_supplied_by <--> supplies

The domain of both is artifact_object. The range is person(instance of
homo sapiens) or organiszation
