The school stage saw 4,673 students from 175 schools participate, who on October 22nd had to demonstrate knowledge of aspects of procurement, warehousing, distribution, and IT systems. The test also included questions about the Pareto optimum rule, depreciation, the FEFO (First Expired, First Out) warehouse issuance principle to reduce risk, and the definition of a cross-docking warehouse. Students from School Complex No. 1 in Łódź, the District Complex No. 3 of Technical and General Schools named after Lieutenant Stefan Jasieński in Oświęcim, and the Jan Kochanowski School Complex in Częstochowa handled the questions best. It was from these institutions that the highest number of students qualified for the second stage. To compete in the regional round, participants had to score a minimum of 33 points. In total, 613 people will take part in the regional stage. They will face twenty questions on broadly defined logistics. The exam will also be in a test format, but this time it will be a multiple-choice test. Furthermore, students will not be taking it at their home schools, but at facilities designated by the organizer to conduct the regional stage. There will be eleven regions. In each of them, the exam will begin on December 10th, promptly at 11:00 AM. The best students will qualify for the final, which will take place on March 18th at the headquarters of the Poznań School of Logistics, the organizer of the event. The Olympiad laureates can look forward to not only valuable material prizes but also an exemption from the written part of the vocational preparation exam for the professions of logistics technician and freight forwarder technician, as well as free studies at the Poznań School of Logistics.
