WORKFORCE REDUCTION, FACILITY WRITE-DOWN, AND CLOSURE COSTS [Abstract]
WORKFORCE REDUCTION, FACILITY WRITE-DOWN, AND CLOSURE COSTS	NOTE 16 – WORKFORCE REDUCTION, FACILITY WRITE-DOWN, AND CLOSURE COSTS: Corporate Workforce Reduction On April 21, 2009, the Company announced to affected employees a plan to reduce its corporate workforce (defined as excluding retail district managers, hourly retail store employees, and distribution center employees). Approximately 150 employees were affected under the plan. The plan included consolidating the majority of our operations performed in our Oshkosh, Wisconsin office into other Company locations. This consolidation has resulted in the addition of resources in our other locations. As a result of this corporate workforce reduction, during fiscal 2009, we recorded net charges of $6.7 million consisting of $5.5 million in severance charges and other benefits ($3.3 million which related to corporate office positions in connection with our existing plan and $2.2 million of special one-time benefits provided to affected employees), and approximately $1.2 million in asset impairment charges net of a gain related to the closure and sale of our Oshkosh, Wisconsin office. As of January 1, 2011, there were no remaining liabilities related to the corporate workforce reduction. Barnesville Distribution Facility Closure On April 2, 2009, the Company announced to affected employees a plan to close its Barnesville, Georgia distribution facility. Approximately 210 employees were affected by this closure. Operations at the Barnesville facility ceased on June 1, 2009. In conjunction with the plan to close the Barnesville, Georgia distribution facility, the Company recorded approximately $4.3 million during fiscal 2009, consisting of severance of $1.7 million, asset impairment charges of $1.1 million related to the write-down of the related land, building, and equipment, $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation (included in selling, general, and administrative expenses), and $0.5 million of other closure costs. On February 21, 2011, the Company sold the facility for zero net proceeds. As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $0.1 million of restructuring reserves included in other current liabilities on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet related to this closure. White House, Tennessee Distribution Facility The Company continually evaluates opportunities to reduce its supply chain complexity and lower costs. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company determined that OshKosh brand products could be effectively distributed through its other distribution facilities and third-party logistics providers. On February 15, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management’s plan to close the Company’s OshKosh distribution facility, which was utilized to distribute the Company’s OshKosh brand products. During fiscal 2009, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its White House, Tennessee distribution facility by approximately $0.7 million to $2.8 million to reflect the decrease in the fair market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company sold the facility for net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million.
