I don't think the QA Personnel to Employee ratio tells you anything useful. The real story lies with the number of products you create, because gathering raw material information and writing specs and labels is where you can easily form a team of 4-5 people even if there are only 100 people working on the floor. If you add to that the people who do the hygiene rounds and the CI, you can literally hit anything from a  1:10 to a 1:50 ratio.
