Abstract: A processing program generation method for generating a processing program (PR) for a work machine on the basis of use-results information for a tool (4) attached to a work machine (2), wherein the use-results information for each part of the tool (4) is obtained, a target use part of the tool (4) is set on the basis of the obtained use-results information, and the processing program (PR) is generated in a manner such that a workpiece (W) is processed using the set target use part of the tool (4).

Abstract: A workpiece-attachment-information reporting device includes a range-setting unit for setting a movable range in a prescribed feed-shaft direction of a work machine, a position-orientation-setting unit for setting the attachment position or orientation of a workpiece, a route-setting unit for setting a tool route on the basis of the attachment position or orientation of a workpiece, a range calculation unit for calculating the operational range in the prescribed feed-shaft direction of a work machine when the tool has moved relative to the workpiece along the tool route, a target-position-orientation calculation unit for obtaining the target attachment position or orientation of the workpiece with the calculated operational range being within the movable range, and a reporting unit for reporting the target attachment position or orientation.
