📈 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 2011 Nissan Cube in the United States are 14,300 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Nissan Cube owners in the last 13 years is 39, and the age of the vehicle is 13, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 39 / 14,300 / 13 * 1000 = 0.21.
