• Key Concepts: 
  Stochastic is a mathematical term used to describe a process that involves random variables. In the context of SAP MA-SMOPS SmartOps, it is used to describe the process of predicting future demand and supply based on historical data. This process uses statistical methods to identify patterns in the data and make predictions about future demand and supply. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Stochastic can be used in SAP MA-SMOPS SmartOps to help businesses make better decisions about their supply chain operations. By analyzing historical data, businesses can identify patterns in demand and supply and use these patterns to make more accurate predictions about future demand and supply. This can help businesses plan their operations more effectively and reduce costs associated with overstocking or understocking. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using stochastic in SAP MA-SMOPS SmartOps, it is important to ensure that the data being used is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that the predictions made are as accurate as possible. Additionally, it is important to consider other factors such as seasonality when making predictions, as this can have a significant impact on demand and supply.
