Adam produces 12 birdhouses in 20 hours, which means he produces 0.6 birdhouses per hour. Doug, on the other hand, produces 15 birdhouses in 30 hours, which means he produces 0.5 birdhouses per hour. Therefore, Doug's production is higher than Adam's, but Adam's productivity (amount produced per hour) is higher than Doug's.
