This MS thesis studies the effect of uncertainty in the demand of finished products, supply of raw materials, and maintenance resources availability on the
maintenance schedule of a manufacturing facility. A simulation model is formulated in
order to realistically model manufacturing systems of various complexities, consisting of multiple interacting machines that degrade and fail over time, and are repaired using imperfectly available maintenance crews and resources. A design of experiments (DOE) based sensitivity study is conducted to find the system parameters that mostly affected
the maintenance decisions and corresponding profits. / text
