This work presents a new efficient and effective method for the control and allocation of resources employed in the creation of a product. While most of the examples in the text refer to manufacturing of buildings, the method is general, applicable to the generation of even non-physical products such as research projects. The superiority of the Pollalis system over traditional analytical Operations Research and Program Scheduling, in offering an easier comprehensive view of the process and in coping flexibly with qualitative data, results from the choice of representation for the specific problem of reasoning about actions.
