A product supply management system provides the capability to regulate the delivery of a product into a containment device. The containment device may be part of a product dispenser, such that the product dispenser regulates the delivery of product from a product generator. In a first embodiment, the product level determiners are disposed at varying levels of the containment device, and are in electrical communication with a controller, such that the product level determiners provide information to the controller. This invention further includes a product height profile having multiple time intervals, and a required product level for each time interval. Accordingly, the product supply management system may compare product levels to the product height profile, and determine whether additional product is required. The product height profile may include relative timing device, data set or real-time timing device to control the timing portion of the invention. Alternative embodiments are further provided.
