A machining-process generation device comprising:

• a process-instance storage to store therein a process instance that is an instance of a machining process indicating machining details of each machining-operation unit;
• a process generator to generate the machining process on a basis of the process instance and a generation condition for the machining process, and to generate background information indicating a background to generation of the machining process, the background information including information in which a constituent part of the generated machining process is associated with a part of the process instance, the part of the process instance having been used to generate the constituent part;
• and
• a display capable of displaying the background information on a display device.
