　　Introduction:

　　More and more often reliability engineers are encountering “big data”. They could be field data from warranty claims and maintenance records, sensor data from environmental and operating condition monitoring devices, or performance data from IoT technologies. In this talk I will share some personal experience of dealing with reliability big data from the data analytics perspective. I will discuss the impact of data volume, data variety and data veracity on statistical modeling and inferences, as well as some exciting research opportunities opening up to the researchers who are interested in the areas of quality and reliability improvement.
