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
