Attached is your model with the changes that I've made.

I changed Source1 so that the number of flowitems created matches a multiple of the "COMBINER" quantity in GlobalTable1. Otherwise, it would be waiting for more flowitems to come that would not be coming.

In the Combiner1 Properties window in the Process Time field, I changed the code so that it would use the "time" column in GlobalTable1 for the process time of the flowitems on the pallet.

Then, in the OnEntry trigger of Combiner1, I added code that changes the number of flowitems combined based on the "COMBINER" field in GlobalTable1 and the itemtype (A,B,C, etc.) of the flowitems on the pallet.

Take a look at the model and see if it is doing what you are needing it to do.
