  1. True/False: Holding all else equal, if you increase the desired service level from

0.8 to 0.9 in a multi-period inventory system with continuous review and uncertain

resources have implied utilizations over 100%. You, therefore, can conclude that you

have four bottlenecks.

7.True/False: In class, we discussed how Zara has revolutionized fast fashion, by
