AB  - The concept of industry 4.0 includes implementation of preventive and predictive mainte-nance of manufacturing systems. In the paper the matrix structure of manufacturing system is proposed that enables the implementation of production processes even in the event of manu-facturing resource failure. The simulation model of the system is prepared using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software. The simulation experiments are conducted for different buffers capacities and availability of manufacturing resources. The simulation method enables to ana-lyze the impact of the failure of manufacturing resources on the throughput and average lifespan of products. The matrix structure enables to predict of the manufacturing system per-formance reduction due to partial or total failure of manufacturing resources and evaluate the changes of the work in process level.
