In 2021, the Company recognized repositioning charges totaling $331 million, including severance costs of $80 million related to workforce reductions of 6,432 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in the Company's Safety and Productivity Solutions and Aerospace segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to the re-alignment of a product line in the Company's Safety and Productivity Solutions segment, site transitions, mainly in Aerospace, to more cost-effective locations, and the Company's productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $117 million primarily related to the write-down of certain manufacturing and other equipment. The repositioning charge included exit costs of $134 million primarily for current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects, closure obligations associated with site transitions, and lease obligations for equipment. Also, $13 million of previously established reserves, primarily for severance, were returned to income due to adjustments to the scope of previously announced repositioning actions. In 2021, Other charges include $105 million of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic) relating to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions segment. Certain of these costs incurred include amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized during the fourth quarter when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’ long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supply delays and the resulting downstream installation issues, demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor disputes. These costs do not include normal operational inefficiencies experienced during a challenging operating environment in 2021. In 2020, the Company recognized repositioning charges totaling $565 million, including severance costs of $475 million related to workforce reductions of 14,159 manufacturing and administrative positions across the Company's segments, with a majority of the workforce reductions in Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies. The workforce reductions primarily related to the Company aligning its cost structure with the slowdown in demand for many of its products and services due to the global recession, the Company's productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives, and to site consolidations and hub strategies. The repositioning charge included exit costs of $69 million primarily related to current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects. Also, $47 million of previously established reserves, primarily for severance, were returned to income mainly as a result of higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance actions resulting in lower payments. In 2019, the Company recognized repositioning charges totaling $438 million, including severance costs of $260 million related to workforce reductions of 5,336 manufacturing and administrative positions across the Company's segments. The workforce reductions related to the Company's productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives and to site transitions, mainly in Honeywell Building Technologies, as the Company transitions manufacturing to more cost-effective locations. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $95 million largely related to a write down in connection with assets held for sale. The repositioning charge included exit costs of $83 million primarily related to current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects, termination fees associated with the early cancellation of supply agreements for certain raw materials in Performance Materials and Technologies and Honeywell Building Technologies and for closure obligations associated with site transitions. The following table summarizes the status of the Company's total repositioning reserves:
