This paper presents a recommended information system (IS) physical level design and charting methodology for use in Systems Analysis and Design textbooks. The design method recommended is based on over fifty years of industry experience in systems design and in training IS undergraduate students. The methodology promotes student comprehension and rapid programmer implementation by reducing the time from assignment of system modules to start of programming by up to three weeks. Included in this paper are examples of the methodology including modifications of design charts appearing in several textbooks.

Keywords: Physical System Level Design, Physical Program Level Design, Systems Analysis and Design Textbooks
