This case study details the implementation of a value stream management (VSM) approach at Tyson Foods, the largest processor and marketer of chicken, beef, and pork in the United States. The company faced challenges related to digital innovation and the need to break down departmental siloes while improving transparency and visibility. Tyson adopted ValueOps™ by Broadcom® as a solution to manage this transformation, starting with their technology teams. The approach involved defining value streams and processes to ensure that the transformation was easily consumable by the organization. The case study outlines how ValueOps provided stakeholders with accurate insights into ongoing work, enabling data-driven decision-making. It highlights the iterative approach taken by Tyson, which included communication, training, and the establishment of a Technology Council to prioritize projects. The benefits of this approach include improved alignment with strategic needs, enhanced understanding of project status, and a roadmap for expanding VSM across other business areas.
