1. A welding program production system comprising:
a determination unit that determines a weldable range of a welding robot based on a position at which the welding robot is to be disposed in relation to an object to be welded and a welding reach within a range of a welding torch disposed on a welding robot manipulator;
an image sensor that captures an image of the object to be welded;
a display control unit that causes a plurality of candidate welding lines detected based on the image of the object to be welded that is present within the determined weldable range to be displayed superimposed upon the image;
an input receiving unit that receives, from a user, a plurality of inputs to select the welding lines from among the displayed plurality of candidate welding lines, wherein the plurality of inputs comprises a first input to sequentially specify a welding line order and a second input to specify a welding direction for each of the selected welding lines; and
a program production unit that produces a welding program on the basis of the specified welding order and welding direction.
