Welcome to Mutual Consultants Limited – RCM Specialists
We specialise in assisting clients to apply Reliability-centred Maintenance (RCM) in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland through world class RCM training, RCM consulting, RCM facilitation and the supply of dedicated RCM software.
As a member of the Aladon Network for more than 25 years, our approach is to impart knowledge of Reliability-centred Maintenance (RCM) to clients via Training Courses, Contract Facilitation and Technical Support. The entry level training that we offer for RCM is a 3-day course; we also offer a 10-day course for RCM facilitators and a 1-day RCM Awareness Session (primarily targeted at senior managers or those on the periphery of an RCM project).
The majority of courses we conduct are in-house to our clients. We do occasionally conduct 'public' courses if there is sufficient demand; from time-to-time, we also syndicate courses between clients. (Syndicated courses are strictly subject to agreement by the host client.)
It is essential that all people who take part in an RCM analysis meeting attend an appropriate training course prior to the analysis group meetings. It is false economy to attempt to implement RCM without training the analysis group members because the RCM approach involves radical shifts in the way people think about maintenance.The courses we provide in support of RCM2 are highly participative, comprising a combination of formal lecturing, exercises and case studies. As a member of the Aladon Network we use the high quality course notes and presentation materials that distinguish the Network's offerings from others.
Comprehensive course notes are provided together with "solutions" to all exercises and case studies; the "solutions" are reviewed by the tutor with the delegates as part of the course.
Visual-aids used during the courses include very high quality colour slides and incorporate learning-aids such as colour-coding and carefully structured examples and anecdotes to reinforce learning.
The courses have evolved over many years and are updated from time-to-time.

MORE ABOUT US
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.
Our client base...
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.
- We are under a professional obligation not to disclose to a third party any specific information about our clients.
- Our staff are very experiencd and practised in their field - furthermore, staff retention has been constant since the company was formed in 1991.
- Around 80% of our revenue is from repeat business with existing clients.
- Mutual Consultants’ tag line is “Working together...”. We work with our clients as a ‘supplier’ of training and consulting services.
- We recognise that each client is 'different' and we are happy to work with our clients either full-time or part-time according to the specific needs of the project.
