production site Explanation: 生产一线就是生产现场。生产一线会因时、因事而不同，所以不能用“First Line”来解释。否则会产生“第一条生产线”的歧义。	Captain0919 Native speaker of: Chinese
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  chica nueva: could be...'factory-floor', but I found a ref to 'first line' management = team leaders, charge hands etc... 4 days agree  franco51: front line manager 一线经理，一线管理者 507 days
