Restructuring and Related Activities [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 headcount 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 $72, $75 and $132 for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company expects fiscal year 2024 restructuring and related costs to be approximately $160, including incremental costs related to the National Instruments acquisition. Restructuring costs by business segment follows:
| 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2023 |

A ctions taken in 2023 and 2022 inc luded workforce reductions of approximately 700 and 2,150 positions and the exit of ten and seven production facilities worldwide, respectively. Cos ts incurred in 2021 primarily relate to the Company's initiatives to improve operating margins that began in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and were expanded in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 in response to the effects of COVID-19 on demand for the Company's products. Expenses incurred in 2021 included actions to exit five facilities and eliminate approximately 3,000 positions. The change in the liability for restructuring costs during the years ended September 30 follows:
| 2022 |  |  | Expense |  | Utilized/Paid |  | 2023 |
