📈 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 2002 Jaguar S-type in the United States are 12,221 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Jaguar S-type owners in the last 20 years is 30, and the age of the vehicle is 20, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 30 / 12,221 / 20 * 1000 = 0.12.
