Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and liabilities and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is assessing the impact of this pronouncement and anticipates it will impact the presentation of our lease assets and liabilities and associated disclosures by the recognition of lease assets and liabilities that are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under existing accounting guidance. We are reviewing our lease arrangements, including facility leases and machinery and equipment leases. The lease terms generally are not complex in nature. The Company will update its accounting policies as we complete our assessment of leases. We will also review other arrangements which could contain embedded lease arrangements to be considered under the revised guidance. We will determine the impact of the new guidance on our current lease arrangements that are expected to remain in place during 2019 and beyond.

Accounting Pronouncements Implemented in the period ended March 31, 2018
Revenue Recognition Guidance
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, followed by a series of standards and clarifications, including: ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)", ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" and ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients". These ASUs supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification.
Under previous and current guidance, we typically recognize revenue when products are shipped and control has transferred to the customer. We assessed the timing of revenue recognition in light of the customized nature of some of our products and provisions of some of our customer contracts and generally did not note an enforceable right to payment that would require us to recognize revenue prior to the product being shipped to the customer. We assessed certain pricing provisions contained in some of our customer contracts and determined they do not represent a material right to the customer. We evaluated how we account for customer owned tooling, engineering and design services, and pre-production costs and determined this accounting should not change under the new guidance. Finally, we evaluated our standard warranties and determined they did not represent a material right to the customer. We did not record a transition adjustment as a result of the implementation and there was no impact on the quarter ending March 31, 2018. We adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with an effective date of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company expanded its disclosure regarding our accounting policy for revenue recognition and disaggregation of revenue as detailed in Note 3.
Income Tax Guidance
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118". ASU No. 2018-05 amends Topic 740 for income tax accounting implications resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("U.S. Tax Reform") as discussed in SAB 118. The measurement period to finalize our calculations as they relate to U.S. Tax Reform cannot extend beyond one year of the enactment date. In December 2017, the Company determined the U.S. Tax Reform gave rise to a provision of $4.0 million on the deemed repatriation of accumulated untaxed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which was recorded in that period. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-05, the assessment of the $4.0 million of accumulated untaxed earnings of foreign subsidiaries was estimated. Any adjustments recorded to provisional amounts will be included in income from operations as an adjustment to tax expense in the period the amounts are determined. ASU 2018-05 was effective December 22, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, no adjustments have been made to the $4.0 million tax provision previously recorded and the amount remains provisional in nature.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at current value less an allowance for doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. This allowance is estimated based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience with write-offs. If not reserved through specific identification procedures, our general policy for potentially uncollectible accounts is to reserve at a certain percentage based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and our historical experience with write-offs. Past due status is based upon the due date of the original amounts outstanding. When items are ultimately deemed uncollectible they are charged off against the reserve previously established in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Warranty
We are subject to warranty claims for products that fail to perform as expected due to design or manufacturing deficiencies. Customers generally require their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the cost of repair or replacement of such products. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to our customers, a customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products when the product supplied did not perform as represented. Our policy is to reserve for estimated future customer warranty costs based on historical trends and current economic factors.
Leases
We lease office, warehouse and manufacturing space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that generally require us to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to annual rental fees. The anticipated future lease costs are based in part on certain assumptions and we monitor these costs to determine if the estimates need to be revised in the future. As of March 31, 2018, our equipment leases did not provide for any material guarantee of a specified portion of residual values.
