Adjustment the aggregate of operations concerning the preparation, tooling, regulation, and tuning of a machine, with the aim of ensuring its performance under predetermined conditions during a definite time interval (an hour, shift, or day; the period of durability of the tool or the period for processing a set of parts). Adjustment is a part of the production process. Adjustments are usually performed after assembly of machines (after installation) or after a temporary stoppage because of malfunction (breakdown, wear, decrease in rigidity, loss of precision, and so on). Adjustment is performed on machine tools, measuring instruments, electrical and radio equipment, transportation equipment, and tools, as well as their aggregates (for example, a transportation system or a flow production line). The cost of adjustments may be decreased by using standardized elements and automatic adjustment devices. Adjustment costs have been reduced to a minimum for machines with programmed control and automatic control systems. adjustment

adjustment 1 the computation of the amount due to an insured and the fixing of the proportion to be borne by the underwriters. 2 in Scottish civil procedure, the changing of the writ or defences before the record is closed. See also ADJUSTMENT OF PRIOR TRANSACTIONS. ADJUSTMENT, maritime law. The adjustment of a loss is the settling andascertaining the amount of the indemnity which the insured after all properallowances and deductions have been made, is entitled to receive, and theproportion of this, which each underwriter is liable to pay, under thepolicy Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 14, p. 617 or it is a written admission of theamounts of the loss as settled between the parties to a policy of insurance.3 Stark. Ev. 1167, 8.
2. In adjusting a loss, the first thing to be considered is, how thequantity of damages for which the underwriters are liable, shall beascertained. When a loss is a total loss, and the insured decides toabandon, he must give notice of this to the underwriters iii a reasonabletime, otherwise he will waive his right to abandon, and must be content toclaim only for a partial loss. Marsh. Ins. B.1, c.3, s.2; 15 East, 559;1 T. R. 608; 9 East, 283; 13 East 304; 6 Taunt. 383. When the loss isadmitted to be total, and the policy is a valued one, the insured isentitled to receive the whole sum insured, subject to such deductions as mayhave been agreed by the policy to be made in case of loss.
3. The quantity of damages being known, the next point to be settled,is, by what rule this shall be estimated. The price of a thing does notafford a just criterion to ascertain its true value. It may have been boughtvery dear or very cheap. The circumstances of time and place cause acontinual variation in the price of things. For this reason, in cases ofgeneral average, the things saved contribute not according to prune cost,but according to the price for which they may be sold at the time ofsettling the average. Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 14, s. 2, p. 621; Laws ofWisbury,art. 20 Laws of Oleron, art. 8 this Dict. tit. Price. And see 4 Dall. 430; 1Caines' R. 80; 2 S. & R. 229 2 S.& R. 257, 258.
4. An adjustment being endorsed on the policy, and signed by theunderwriters, with the promise to pay in a given time, is prima facieevidence against them, and amounts to an admission of all the factsnecessary to be proved by the insured to entitle him to recover in an actionon the policy. It is like a note of hand, and being proved, the insured hasno occasion to go into proof of any other circumstances. Marsh. Ins. B. 1,c. 14, s. 3, p. 632; 3 Stark. Ev. 1167, 8 Park. ch. 4; Wesk. Ins, 8; Beaw.Lex. Mer. 310; Com. Dig. Merchant, E 9; Abbott on Shipp. 346 to 348. SeeDamages. adjustment
Adjustment1. A tax deduction taken on a loss, especially on bad debt or accounts receivable that will likely not be collected. One is not liable for income that is not actually realized.
2. In insurance, a payment on a claim. For example, if one has homeowner's insurance and his/her house floods, he/she is entitled to an adjustment, so long as the insurance covers flooding. Arriving at the amount of the adjustment is a complex process and insurance companies employ full-time adjusters to investigate claims and determine what amount, if any, the adjustment should be.
3. In an adjustable-rate mortgage, a change in the interest rate paid on the mortgage. The adjustment may be upward or downward. See also: Adjustment frequency.adjustment1. See dividend adjustment.2. See interest adjustment.See ADJMT
