Abstract

The world is currently experiencing a profound transformation in technology usage, commonly referred to as “Industry 4.0” or “Digital Transformation”. This technological paradigm shift serves as a cornerstone for economic progress. In this context, Manufacturing Information Systems (MIS) emerge as a crucial tool that aids businesses in making informed decisions. This paper’s objective is explaining the concept of MIS and drawing its importance in managing the production. Thus, it seeks to highlight the crucial role of information in manufacturing systems and reveal the necessity of considering the Information Systems (IS) along with production management. Therefore, the key concepts (management information system, manufacturing information system, smart manufacturing system, and total manufacturing information system) are defined. Then, the importance of information for MIS, and the MIS evolution and its structure are included. Next, we conducted a literature review of research on MIS in Algeria. Finally, we assessed the use of MIS in Algerian companies, and then we explained the role of MIS in enhancing productivity in Algeria.
