SOLD OUT! We hit our capacity for teams this year.
High school students! Round up three to four of your most strategic, problem-solving friends and put your collective problem solving skills to the test at the Meinders School of Business (MSB) at Oklahoma City University (OCU) Supply Chain Management (SCM) Challenge on Friday, Oct. 2, 2026. Compete against teams from across the state in a fast-paced, real-world simulation where you’ll learn what it takes to keep products moving, customers satisfied and businesses running efficiently.
With MSB’s newly revamped SCM program launching in 2026, there’s never been a better time to explore one of the fastest-growing and most in-demand fields in business. Plus, OCU offers abundant scholarships for students interested in pursuing a degree in Supply Chain Management.
This competition is built around an interactive SCM simulation game where teams of up to five students compete in real time, making decisions on sourcing, production, inventory and distribution. As market conditions shift and challenges arise, your team must adapt quickly to outperform the competition. Results are calculated and announced the same day, so you’ll know exactly how your strategy stacks up.
Real-world competition, fast-paced decision making and serious prizes:
First Place: $2,000
Second Place: $1,000
Third Place: $500
Top teams will also take big trophies for your school's display case, giving your program bragging rights for the year. Only eight teams will compete. Your chances of winning are high.
