combines the academic disciplines of social science, organizationallearning, Industrial and Systems Engineering to support the design and implementation ofsustainable systems. Collective System Design is an integrative course for the SystemsEngineering Curriculum at Southern Methodist University. Students apply the CollectiveSystem Design methodology to design a sustainable lean manufacturing system as part of an in-class physical system design and simulation workshop. The students then apply CollectiveSystem Design within their own work environments. The result of the new system design is toidentify both hard savings and soft savings that show up on the bottom line for their company.Collective System Design uses a logic framework that defines the

Defense Systems Management College: “The application of scientific and engineering efforts to (a) transform an operational need into a description of system performance parameters and a system configuration through the use of an iterative process of definition, synthesis, analysis, design, test, and evaluation; (b) integrate related technical parameters and ensure compatibility of all physical, functional, and program interfaces in a manner that optimizes the total system definition and design; and (c) integrate reliability, maintainability, safety, survivability, human engineering, and other such factors into the total engineering effort to meet cost, schedule, supportability, and
