Whenever you do a process flow problem, you should draw a picture. Arrows denote the flow of jobs. A triangle denotes jobs waiting to be processed. A circle or rectangle denotes the jobs being processed. This set of arrows/triangle/circles creates one building block or "lego" which is them simply duplicated for each process step. Refer to the picture below for an example. In this "Lego," what could the "1", "2", and "m1" denote? Assume that you are analyzing a grocery store.
