The remainder is spent dealing with facility and equipment related issues, such as research, preparation of requests for quotation for fixed (e.g. shelving, racks, etc.) and mobile (e.g. reach trucks, pallet jacks, etc.) equipment, analyzing proposals, doing on-site measurements of facilities, calculating building capacities, etc.
