Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
Aptiv’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to implement management’s strategy, streamline operations, take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. These activities generally relate to the realignment of existing manufacturing capacity and closure of facilities and other exit or disposal activities, as it relates to executing Aptiv’s strategy, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to significant restructuring programs.
As part of Aptiv’s continued efforts to optimize its cost structure, it has undertaken several restructuring programs which include workforce reductions as well as plant closures. These programs are primarily focused on reducing global overhead costs and on the continued rotation of our manufacturing footprint to best cost locations in Europe. The Company recorded employee-related and other restructuring charges related to these programs totaling approximately $22 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. None of the Company's individual restructuring programs initiated during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were material and there have been no changes in previously initiated programs that have resulted (or are expected to result) in a material change to our restructuring costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs of approximately $25 million (of which approximately $15 million relates to the Advanced Safety and User Experience segment and approximately $10 million relates to the Signal and Power Solutions segment) for programs approved as of March 31, 2022, which are primarily expected to be incurred within the next twelve months.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Aptiv recorded employee-related and other restructuring charges totaling approximately $6 million.
Restructuring charges for employee separation and termination benefits are paid either over the severance period or in a lump sum in accordance with either statutory requirements or individual agreements. Aptiv incurred cash expenditures related to its restructuring programs of approximately $15 million and $31 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
