About this event
Supply Chain Management changed for 2025-26 from an objective test to a team presentation with a topic. Each year FBLA releases a business case, and your team acts as supply chain consultants, presenting a strategy that covers how goods, information, and money move through the supply chain (logistics, procurement, inventory control, and distribution). The objective test on this subject is now Introduction to Supply Chain Management (grades 9 and 10). Team event (1 to 3 members). How it runs: there is no test. You present to judges: 3 minutes to set up, a 7-minute presentation, and 3 minutes of questions. Internet access is not provided. At the National Leadership Conference there is a preliminary round, and the top scorers from each section advance to a final round, where the final presentation score decides the winners.
