Research on the Benchmarking Management of Grass-roots Tobacco Leaf Purchasing

The tobacco leaf purchasing stations were the most basic units engaged in the tobacco leaf production and purchasing, which were responsible for implementing the plans of tobacco production, organizing and guiding the tobacco farmers, and completing the tobacco leaf purchasing. They were the direct executors of tobacco leaf policies and played a fundamental role in the tobacco management. Therefore, it was of great significance to strengthen the management of tobacco leaf purchasing stations to promote the high-quality development of tobacco leaves. How to carry on the benchmarking management of tobacco leaf purchasing stations was discussed in this paper. The index system of benchmarking was designed from the five aspects of plan management, cost management, efficiency management, quality management and service management, and the modes of benchmarking were proposed including classification benchmarking, analysis and notification, and index improvement. Last, the countermeasures for promoting the benchmarking were put forward, which provided references for developing the benchmarking management of tobacco leaf purchasing stations.
