Formed in 1991, Mutual Consultants Limited have specialised in assisting clients to apply Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) from the start. Our experience extends before 1991, in that the key RCM practitioners within the company have been active in RCM since 1988. As a result, we are able to offer very experienced and practised consultants. Mutual Consultants Limited is the dominant member of the Aladon Network in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland but as members of the Aladon Network we can draw on experience from (and provide contact with) RCM users from a wide range of industries world-wide. In assisting clients with applying RCM our role is to impart knowledge of RCM via initial training and technical support; our goal is for clients to become competent and confident in implementing RCM for themselves in the future. In the application of RCM we can provide varying degrees of support and assistance (including project management and contract facilitation). What we never do, however, is apply RCM on your behalf - this is because RCM must be applied by those people who know the equipment the best, i.e. those who use and maintain the equipment. We have worked with a wide range of clients both large and small. Past and current RCM clients include major railway organisations in the UK and overseas, train builders, gas supply and gas distribution companies, electricity generation and supply companies, paper/textile manufacturers, off-shore oil and gas industries, shipping, defence contractors, nuclear sites, cement manufacture, an MoD establishment, breweries, glass manufacturer, can maker and specialised pipe manufacturer.
