As demand continues to rise for green products substantial opportunities are now emerging for the creation and development of new businesses. This new wave of producers represents both an important environmental and economic opportunity for UK Plc. However, it may be that our existing knowledge of production operations is inadequate to support the rapid growth of green producers, and that the UK will be slow to reap the benefits of these new business opportunities. In contrast to many traditional manufacturers, here, factors such as the sources of materials, proximity to markets, control over production, and ethics of employment, are key to brand identity and product differentiation. Moreover, this change in values also challenges conventional thinking on production operations design and management. For example it may be an anathema to seek cost reductions by outsourcing production to China. This has led us to question 'what are the production centred issues that can impact the growth of UK based green manufacturers?' This is a relatively unexplored topic within the mainstream operations research community and, as we are unsure of what we may encounter, we propose this pilot study to better understand these issues and form a foundation for future work.

随着对绿色产品的需求持续增长，新业务的创建和发展出现了大量机会。这波新的生产商浪潮对英国公司来说代表着重要的环境和经济机会。然而，我们现有的生产运营知识可能不足以支持绿色生产商的快速增长，英国将缓慢地从这些新商机中获益。与许多传统制造商相比，材料来源、靠近市场、生产控制和就业道德等因素是品牌识别和产品差异化的关键。此外，这种价值观的变化也挑战了生产运营设计和管理的传统思维。例如，通过将生产外包给中国来寻求降低成本可能是令人厌恶的。这让我们产生疑问：“哪些以生产为中心的问题会影响英国绿色制造商的增长？”这是主流运筹学界相对未探索的话题，由于我们不确定可能会遇到什么，我们提出这项试点研究，以更好地理解这些问题并为未来的工作奠定基础。
