We implemented various cost reduction initiatives to improve our operating cost structures in the periods presented. These cost initiatives have, among other actions, included workforce reductions and the closure or consolidation of certain operations. Except for the 2018 Restructuring Plan discussed below, none of these initiatives has individually resulted in a material charge to earnings.

In December 2018 we committed to a restructuring plan primarily associated with our Fashion Bed business and Home Furniture Group, both of which report within the Furniture Products segment. The majority of the 2018 costs in the tables below are related to this 2018 Restructuring Plan.

Our Fashion Bed business (which supplies ornamental beds, bed frames and other accessories sold to retailers) and Home Furniture Group (which produces furniture components for the upholstered furniture industry) have underperformed expectations primarily from weaker demand and higher raw material costs. Accordingly, we are exiting low margin business, reducing operating costs and eliminating excess capacity.

We anticipate that the activities will be substantially complete by the end of 2019. The following table presents information associated with this plan:
