  PPQ Parts holds 5% of the world market share on small SUVs, but its goal is 9% in 4 years.
• Current stock price is $10 per share. The goal is $22 a share.
  
  Profit margin 3-year average is 6%. Industry average during this time has also been 6%. The company goal is 13% in 4 years.
• PPQ Parts has averaged 28% employee turnover during the last 3 years. This is compared to an industry average of 25%. The goal of the company is to increase employee retention by lowering annual turnover to 17%.
• PPQ Parts contributes to all the local communities in which it is doing business. This is one of its corporate values. Current charity is 0.5% of total profits, but the company would like to raise that to 5% in 4 years.
