Why use a consultant? First and foremost is the unbiased and experienced view that consultants provide. Because they have no stake in the outcome (aside from providing the best service possible so you'll hire them again), consultants can suggest radical or controversial strategies when indicated. In some cases, organizations listen to outside consultants more closely than to in-house experts.

Consultants can often apply a wide knowledge of maintenance practices from many industries and general businesses to help solve organizational problems.

Few maintenance professionals have been inside more maintenance facilities than a qualified consultant. Consultants can bring to bear ideas that have been successful in other industries and organizations, such as government, education or transit. A consultant who teaches has access to discussions from thousands of maintenance professionals from hundreds of sessions.

Some organizations turn to consultants because the in-house staff has the skill but not the time. Consultants can focus their entire attention, without distraction on a narrow problem. A consultant can usually get on-line rapidly (much more quickly then a even a highly qualified new hire).

Instead of hiring, consider consultants. You can send them home when the project is complete, and you usually can get a full skill set pertinent to your problem.
