After an earthquake, the fire risk of petrochemical enterprises is higher than that of other enterprises as it involves production processes with inflammable and explosive characteristics. Using Chinese petrochemical enterprises as the research object, this paper uses a literature review and case summaries to study, amongst others, the classification of petrochemical enterprises, the proportion...

This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to amanpower-scheduling problem arising at a Petrochemical Company. AlthoughGenetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problemsin the past, they always had to overcome the limitations of theclassical Genetic Algorithms paradigm in handling the conflict betweenobjectives and constraints. The approach taken here is to use an indir...
