Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The reported income tax rate for the nine months ended December 27, 2014 was 7.8%, as compared to a reported income tax rate of 6.3% for the nine months ended December 28, 2013. Our reported income tax rate is lower than the US federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of being subject to lower income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions where we operate. In addition, we recorded discrete tax benefits during the three months ended December 27, 2014 associated with the release of tax reserves due to the expiration of the statute of limitations as well as the retroactive enactment of the U.S. federal research credit. During the nine months ended December 27, 2014, we recorded pre-tax losses in Scotland, Italy and Malaysia due to restructuring costs associated with our manufacturing transformation, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to uncertainty around our ability to realize a tax benefit in these jurisdictions. Similarly, during the nine months ended December 28, 2013, we recorded pre-tax losses in Italy associated with restructuring costs, and we did not recognize a tax benefit due to the full valuation allowance maintained against our Italian deferred tax assets. We also recorded a tax benefit for the three months ended December 28, 2013 as the benefits from the release of previously established reserves and the intercompany financing with Italy were recorded during this period.
