I thought I read somewhere that improving service levels can sometimes reduce costs in the long run, but I still think it might increase them initially.

I remember a practice question that mentioned increased product variety often leads to higher inventory costs, so I'm leaning towards option A.

I'm a little confused on this one. Does increased variety always mean higher costs? I'll have to review my notes before deciding.

Okay, I think I've got this. Faster cycles and more variety mean higher handling, storage, and transportation costs. Gotta be A.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Increased variety could mean more inventory, but faster cycles might offset that. I'll have to weigh the factors carefully.

Increased product variety and shorter order cycle times? That's a recipe for higher logistics costs, no doubt. I'm going with A on this one.
