📈 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 2000 Plymouth Neon in the United States are 90,258 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Plymouth Neon owners in the last 22 years is 198, and the age of the vehicle is 22, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 198 / 90,258 / 22 * 1000 = 0.10.
