About Scope

​

The IIFT Kolkata Supply Chain and Operations Energy Club (SCOPE) provides the ideal platform for aspiring students to develop an understanding of operations, which is becoming increasingly important in order to improve international trade operations. Due to customer preferences, terms such as reverse logistics, industry 4.0, and green logistics have gained prominence in the industry in this age of disruptive innovation. This presents a challenge for businesses and start-ups that are constantly evolving to incorporate their customers' preferences and tastes into their products and services.

 

Overall, the four domains of demand, production planning, logistics (customer satisfaction) management, and sustainable management are expected to grow in importance in the near future. Each domain necessitates the use of and knowledge of existing and emerging technologies. Our activities throughout the year would aid in the development of these skill sets.
