Restructuring

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing restructuring related integration plans for our manufacturing and distribution networks. These plans include the closure and combination of distribution and manufacturing facilities in order to reduce complexity and realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. All activities within this plan are expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2021. As planned, we expect to incur additional exit-related costs associated with these plans of up to $21 through the end of calendar 2021.

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a new restructuring program with a primary focus on reorganizing our global end-to-end supply chain network and ensuring accountability by category. This program includes streamlining the Company’s end-to-end supply chain model to enable rapid response to category specific demands and enhancing our ability to better serve our customers. Planning and execution of this program began in fiscal year 2021, with completion expected by the beginning of fiscal year 2022. The expected remaining costs associated with this project are approximately $6 through the end of the fiscal year.

The pre-tax expense for charges related to the restructuring plans for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are noted in the table below and were reflected in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income:
