Abstract Over the past years, several initiatives have been emerged: industry 4.0 in Germany, smart manufacturing in the United States of America, internet + in China, future industry in France. Different nominations with an only objective, which is to make the company smarter: transformation in the organization and management of production as well as the entire logistics chain. Even the importance of this industrial revolution, there is a lack of research in the work of implementing Industry 4.0 concepts for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In order to facilitate the transformation, this work treats an approach through the presentation of a methodology for implementing Industry 4.0 technologies in supply chains. The objective of this article is to define an overview of Industry 4.0 and its impact on the optimization of the supply chain for SMEs, based on the literature review study, and pilot guide for a 4.0 transition strategy based on the method called DMAIC. In this study a framework of a methodology for implementing industry 4.0 is proposed and the elaboration of model is given in order to establish the technological means of industry 4.0 according to the objectives performance desired by the company. Keywords Industry 4.0 · Implementation methodology · Supply chain · SMES · DMAIC

1 Introduction The supply chain has existed since the start of industrialization, the overall objective is to transform and transport materials or products, to add value, and to satisfy a request at each stage of the process [1].

The appearance of the 4th industrial revolution impacted the supply chain, it was turned upside down; it became smarter, more transparent and more flexible at all levels. Today we are talking about Supply Chain 4.0: it is the establishment of Industry 4.0 technologies in supply chains. The arrival of the 4th industrial revolution introduced the concept of the internet and intelligence into global supply chains through connected machines and tools. Thus, the production environment is directly linked to the distribution area. This constant connection between the digital world and the physical system is one of the main challenges of the industry of the future [2]. Increased digital interconnectivity between humans, machines and humanmachine systems, where hierarchies will be increasingly dismantled. Will be translated by a vertical and horizontal integration along the value chain [3]. This link has great potential for optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing costs, deadli
