Your ratios are pretty good, but it is more common to use a common denominator, not a common numerator. I divided by the number of tables. Using this as the divisor, the ratios have been slowly changing. Sooner or later the dt will reach zero on one of the items (most likely the benches) and all production will stop.
Well, if I use the tables instead of the racks and the same two sets of production figures from the furniture tent, I get this:
Old figures:
35 lamps / 5 tables = 7 lamps per table
153 racks / 5 tables = 30.6 racks per table
11 benches / 5 tables = 2.2 benches per table
New figures:
181 lamps / 30 tables = 6.03 lamps per table
787 racks / 30 tables = 26.23 racks per table
56 benches / 30 tables = 1.86 benches per table
Using these figures, I do see the decrease you are talking about. However, my reason for not using the tables in the first place is that they take the longest to complete and I do not know what stage of completion the table is at.
Guys, what you're missing is that the published number of tables/benches/etc. isn't exact--it omits the fractional part. Because of this, the ratios will fluctuate. As time goes on, though, they'll get closer and closer to one specific number.
The times published elsewhere are correct. It's 35 minutes for a stand lamp, 8 minutes for a scroll rack, 2 hours for a bench, and 3.5 hours for a table. These numbers haven't changed at all.
