• Wear testing can be performed with materials and finished products
![Page 38: The impact of ICT on manufacturing](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813634550346895d9db059/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Logistics
• As well as design and manufacturing applications the whole supply chain needs to be carefully planned and managed
![Page 39: The impact of ICT on manufacturing](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813634550346895d9db059/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Supply chain management
• Ensuring that materials are at the point of processing, products and components are made on schedule and delivered to the customer on time is essential for efficient manufacturing
ICT makes a major contribution to this
