Tyson Foods Inc. will centralize areas such as transportation and warehousing under fresh meats head Brady Stewart in the food giant’s latest effort to restore profits.

The reorganization will allow the meat producer to better balance supplies with demand including through a faster adoption of digital tools, according to Chief Financial Officer John R. Tyson. Streamlining supply chain operations — which also include areas such as logistics, manufacturing and engineering — will involve “some minor adjustments” in staffing, Tyson said in an interview.
