Reliability, maintainability and availability are three important attributes to describe the qualityof a large-scale device. A certain large-scale device is in the prototype testing phase and clearly exhibits re-liability growth. However, the high environmental stress and operation cost result in the difficulties to col-lect field data. Moreover, the downtime constraint should be considered when the availability anays1s 1Scarried out. Therefore, it is very difficult to carry out device reliability, maintainability and availability as-sessments. In this paper, the empirical analysis is first carried out based on the field failure and mainte-nance data, then the device reliability improvement trend is determined with a piecewise linear model. Forthe small sample question of the field failure and maintenance data, the Bayesian method is introduced, andthe field reliability and maintainability parameters are calculated by the soft WinBUGS. Then the most ap-propriate description of the system availability--mission availability with closed expression form is presen-ted. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the method, the field data from June 4, 2007 to May 17,2010 has been couected. Through the case study, two reliability change-points are determined and thus thedevice reliability and maintainability are analyzed with Bayesian method. As a result, the average relativeerror of Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods are 0.42% and 8.78% respectively. Then it can beconcluded that using the Bayesian method to carry out field reliability analysis is more effective comparedto the maximum likelihood method.
