1. A machining-process generation device comprising:
a process-instance storage to store therein process instances that are instances of machining processes generated in the past, each of the machining processes being defined by machining-operation units, each of the machining-operation units indicating details of machining;
a process generator to generate a machining process by generating data on each of machining-operation units of the machining process on a basis of process instances extracted from the process-instance storage and a generation condition for the machining process, and to generate background information indicating a background to generation of data on each of the machining-operation units of the machining process, the background information including information in which the generated data on each of the machining-operation units of the machining process is associated with the extracted process instances, the extracted process instances having been used to generate the data on each of the machining-operation units; and
a display capable of displaying the background information, and displaying side-by-side the generated machining process and a selected one of the process instances in the background information,
wherein each of the process instances includes, as the generation condition for the machining process, tool and machine information for a tool and machine to be used for machining, and
each of the process instances includes a name of a creator of the process instance, a date and time of creation of the process instance, and an identifier of a product manufactured using the process instance.
