چکیده:
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of industry 4.0. Our goal is to give a perspective of what Industry 4.0 is, its challenges in today's context, and present how we have to design and implement future business organizations. Numerous researchers have mentioned that implementing industry 4.0 is a response to the current challenges in fast changing environments. Indeed, in order to improve flexibility, reduce costs and offer customized products, companies must redesign their production processes appropriately. After an introduction to the new context phenomenon of “Industry 4.0”, we provide a comprehensive definition of this new concept and explain the research methodology. Then we present several points of view about challenges and issues of Industry 4.0, and most benefits of this new industrial paradigm are also described. Finally, we end this paper by drawing conclusions and suggesting future research

The modern manufacturing systems must be flexible/agile, reactive, integrated and cost-effective simultaneously to enable industrial companies to stay competitive in an international competition.
To develop and run such complex systems, manufacturing enterprises need to design and engineer their production processes appropriately and in a systematic way following structured approaches based on sound principles and supported by efficient tools and methods (Schelechtendal et al.
This new production system allows companies to take actions to prepare for this change, defining the most suitable manufacturing model and planning the target roadmaps in order to address the new industrial paradigm’s challenges (MacDougall, 2014).
To find a solution for that in order to be competitive, the industrial work production systems require a new manufacturing process.
These revolutions have brought to the world drastic changes in diverse areas, posed huge challenges for industries and manufacturers, led to massive innovations and transformations, and remarkably affected people’s way of life (Huang, 2017).
As we can observe it, the digitalization and virtualization process ensures and procures several opportunities for manufacturers to create new values and drive innovation to achieve more competitive success in their business.
Nowadays, all companies must incorporate innovation in their manufacturing process and in order to sustain in the context of globalization and guarantee more perfection production systems which are characterised by flexibility, adaptability, agility, proactivity and so on.
Furthermore, starting to invest in the smart factory means deep changes, in every aspect of organizations value chain, such as product development processes, marketing, manufacturing, logistics, after-sales services and security (Lopes Nunes et al.
