📈 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 2001 Honda Prelude in the United States are 12,438 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Honda Prelude owners in the last 21 years is 24, and the age of the vehicle is 21, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 24 / 12,438 / 21 * 1000 = 0.09.
