📈 PPMY Index and Problem Occurrence Trend

In our research we use the PPMY index to compare the reliability of vehicles. The PPMY index of a certain model is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. The total sales of the 2015 Honda Pilot in the United States are 107,179 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Honda Pilot owners in the last 11 years is 139, and the age of the vehicle is 11, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 139 / 107,179 / 11 * 1000 = 0.12.
