Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Cost Reduction Activities Restructuring Programs
The Company views its restructuring programs as part of its operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a 3 to 5-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan for the European reportable segment designed to simplify the organization, increase organizational efficiency, and enhance key processes. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2020.
The project is expected to result in cumulative pretax net charges of approximately $40 million, including certain non-cash credits. Cash costs are expected to be approximately $50 million. The total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to relocation, third party legal and consulting fees, and contract termination costs.
During the quarter ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded total charges of $1 million related to this initiative. These charges were recorded in SG&A expense. Since inception, the Company has recognized total charges, including non-cash credits, of $39 million attributed to this initiative.
Additionally during the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan which primarily impacted the North America reportable segment. The reorganization plan was designed to simplify the organization that supports the remaining North America reportable segment after the divestiture and related transition. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2020.
The overall project is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $30 million. Cash costs are expected to approximate the pretax charges. Total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to third party consulting fees.
The charges related to this initiative were not material during the quarter ended March 28, 2020. These charges were recorded in SG&A expense. Since inception, the Company has recognized total charges of $21 million attributed to this initiative.
Project K
As of the end of 2019, the Company completed implementation of all Project K initiatives. Total project charges, after-tax cash costs and annual savings delivered by Project K were in line with expectations.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $8 million related to Project K
