Restructuring

NOTE B — RESTRUCTURING

We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of associates, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

MAP to Growth

During 2018, we approved and implemented the initial phases of a multi-year restructuring plan, which is referred to as MAP to Growth. On May 31, 2021, we formally concluded MAP to Growth. However, certain projects identified prior to that date were completed during fiscal 2023.

For MAP to Growth, we incurred $3.8 million, $6.3 million and $18.1 million of restructuring costs for the years ended May 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have incurred $121.1 million of costs associated with this plan to date and we do not expect any future costs associated with this plan.

MAP 2025

In August 2022, we approved and announced MAP 2025, which is a multi-year restructuring plan to build on the achievements of MAP to Growth and designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix and sales force effectiveness and improving operating efficiency. Initial phases of the plan have focused on commercial initiatives, operational efficiencies, and procurement. Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2025.

The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined below. Throughout our MAP 2025 initiative, we will continue to assess and find areas of improvement and cost savings. As such, the final implementation of the aforementioned phases and total expected costs are subject to change.

Following is a summary of the charges recorded in connection with MAP 2025 by reportable segment as well as the total expected costs related to projects identified to date:
