Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Impairment and Restructuring Charges Impairment and Restructuring Charges
During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we engaged in restructuring activities intended to improve productivity, operating margins, and working capital levels. Restructuring costs primarily relate to workforce reductions, repositioning of management structure and costs associated with plant consolidations and closures.
Asset impairment charges were recorded in addition to our restructuring costs. In 2019, the asset impairment charges were primarily related to ROU assets held by operations impacted by restructuring. During 2018 and 2017, lease costs were recorded within other exit costs in the tables below in accordance with effective restructuring and leasing guidance during those time periods.
The following table summarizes the restructuring charges for the periods indicated:
