Severance and Restructuring Costs

3. Severance and restructuring costs

During the second half of 2015, we implemented initiatives across each of our segments to optimize operations and to enhance operational efficiency and customer service.  During the three and six-months ended April 30, 2016, costs of $1,633 and $2,650 were recognized related to these initiatives, respectively, which consisted primarily of severance costs.

Within the Adhesives Dispensing Systems segment, restructuring initiatives to optimize operations in the U.S. and Belgium resulted in costs of $991 and $1,471 during the three and six-months ended April 30, 2016, respectively. Payments of $6,205 related to these actions were paid during 2016.

Within the Advanced Technology Systems segment, a restructuring initiative to enhance operational efficiency and customer service resulted in costs of $170 and $680 during the three months and six-months ended April 30, 2016, respectively.  Payments of $2,707 related to these actions were paid during 2016.

Within the Industrial Coating Systems segment, a restructuring program to enhance operational efficiency and customer service resulted in severance costs of $472 and $499 during the three and six-months ended April 30, 2016, respectively. Payments of $294 related to these actions were paid during 2016.

Total costs for these actions to-date have been $14,061, which include $10,656 of severance costs, $588 of fixed asset impairment charges, $1,383 of lease termination costs and $1,434 of other one-time restructuring costs.

Additional costs related to these initiatives are not expected to be material in future periods. The remainder of the cash payments related to these initiatives are expected to be paid during the second half of 2016.

The following table summarizes severance and restructuring activity during 2016 related to actions initiated in 2015:
