The planning space is represented on 3 different abstraction levels : grain, operation, and silo. The planning is hierarchical and non linear and involves several techniques of artificial intelligence : causal diagnosis of grain quality at grain level ; selection of the storage operations needed to preserve grain quality at operation level ; ordering the selected operations, allocating and reasoning on resources, at silo level. The main originality of this study lies in the introduction of a preventive approach to stored grain management which is guided by the preservation of the grain quality.
