Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
OTHER ASSETS
OTHER ASSETS
Through the second quarter of 2017, the Company held equity interests in the acquired companies identified in Note 3 - Acquisitions for various strategic purposes. The investments were accounted for under the equity method and were included in “Other assets” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of the investments were adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings, losses, and dividends. The investments were not considered material to the Company’s financial position, either individually or in the aggregate. During the second quarter of 2017, the remaining interests of these equity method investments were purchased (see Note 3 - Acquisitions), bringing total ownership of these entities to 100 percent. As of September 30, 2017, there were no equity method investments recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the purchase of the remaining interests, the Company’s proportionate share of earnings from its equity interests, were included in the "Other income, net" line of the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income. This amount was immaterial for the third quarter ended October 1, 2016.
