Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Restructuring costs | RESTRUCTURING COSTS Each year the Company incurs costs to size its businesses to levels appropriate for current economic conditions and to continually improve its cost structure and operational efficiency, deploy assets globally, and remain competitive on a worldwide basis. Costs result from numerous individual actions implemented across the Company's various operating units on an ongoing basis and can include costs for moving facilities to best-cost locations, restarting plants after relocation or geographic expansion to better serve local markets, reducing forcecount or the number of facilities, exiting certain product lines, and other costs resulting from asset deployment decisions (such as contract termination costs, asset write-downs and vacant facility costs). Restructuring expenses were $150, $284 and $95 for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company expects fiscal year 2022 restructuring expense to be approximately $150.
