Sanding wood components is often done on a machine called a Timesaver Sander. The

reference surface is the flat belt that takes the product into the sanding area. For a

uniform sanding of the wood surface the part must lie reasonably flat on the Timesaver

belt. At regular intervals flatness is checked at an inspection station prior to sanding. The

project team investigating whether the product flatness could be leading to defects

decided to verify the ability to measure flatness. The data given below is from their study.

a) Decide whether the team has a measurement system problem and what should be done

about it.
