The Chebyshev distance is sometimes used in [[warehouse]] [[logistics]],<ref>{{cite book | title = Logistics Systems |author1=André Langevin |author2=Diane Riopel | publisher = Springer | year = 2005 | isbn = 0-387-24971-0 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=9I8HvNfSsk4C&q=Chebyshev+distance++warehouse+logistics&pg=PA96 }}</ref> as it effectively measures the time an [[overhead crane]] takes to move an object (as the crane can move on the x and y axes at the same time but at the same speed along each axis).

It is also widely used in electronic [[computer-aided manufacturing]] (CAM) applications, in particular, in optimization algorithms for these.
