System Design, LLC, works with companies to design their enterprise to effectively meet customer needs in product design, manufacturing and long term customer support. Founded in 2002 by Dr. David S. Cochran, former Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and two-time winner of the prestigious Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing for his work in the design of "lean" systems, System Design, LLC provides consulting, education, and leadership expertise in sustainable and regenerative enterprise system design to companies around the globe.

Collective System Design™ (CSD), a methodology developed by Dr. Cochran, is built on the Manufacturing System Design Decomposition (MSDD) and Product Delivery System (PDS) decomposition that Dr. Cochran and his research group developed during his 9-year tenure at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This approach is different from assembling machines together and attempting to implement the buzz-word strategy of the month. CSD is a logical, customized approach to providing a consistent, stable method of product delivery and system implementation.
