📈 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 Toyota Tundra in the United States are 92,730 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Toyota Tundra owners in the last 25 years is 532, and the age of the vehicle is 25, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 532 / 92,730 / 25 * 1000 = 0.23.
