Note 15 – Restructuring Charges

The Company has undertaken initiatives to restructure its business operations to improve utilization and realize cost savings. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of production facilities, largely to align capacity and infrastructure with current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes transferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The process of restructuring entails moving production between facilities, reducing staff levels, realigning our business processes, reorganizing our management and other activities.

The Company recognized restructuring charges during 2018 and 2017 primarily related to facility transition and closures in the Americas, capacity reduction and reductions in workforce in certain facilities across various regions.

The following table summarizes the 2018 activity in the accrued restructuring balances related to the restructuring activities initiated prior to March 31, 2018:
