In this paper, we propose a new method for extracting design issues on maintenance. Maintenance periods might be prolonged due to design issues. In the proposed method, maintenance preconditions are extracted by organizing the design information. A maintenance schedule is created by using extracted maintenance preconditions. If the created maintenance schedule doesn't achieve target periods, design issues could be extracted from the viewpoint of maintenance precondition. A simple example using Monju design information is presented to illustrate the proposed method.
