Description: Ammunition deterioration during storage has considerable economic consequences. A      reliable prediction model for the ammunition deterioration rate is necessary for long-term      procurement and maintenance planning. A random effect growth curve analysis is      employed to formulate a prediction model for ammunition deterioration rates in terms of      concurrent characteristics such as depot condition and vendor information. The resultant      prediction model can be used to determine the appropriate time for reorder or renovation      of ammunition before the quality reaches unacceptable levels. A two-stage analysis is      used to estimate parameters involved in the prediction model. Necessary estimation      methods are discussed. An example is given to illustrate the implementation procedure of      the prediction model suggested in this paper.
