Supply Chain Initiatives and Business Optimization
In 2009, we began a restructuring program principally designed to optimize our business information systems, harmonize our plant operations, and streamline our cooler services business. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $1 million and $16 million, respectively, and during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $2 million and $13 million, respectively. These charges were included in SD&A expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We expect to be substantially complete with these restructuring activities by the end of 2011. The cumulative cost of this program as of September 30, 2011 was $39 million. The following table summarizes these restructuring activities for the periods presented (in millions):
