What route is the most promising

Synthesis and characterisation of high surface area polymers 

---

Silicon-silicon multiple bonds with a bond order greater than two are still unknown. According to theoretical calculations, voluminous and concomitantly electropositive substituents are the most promising candidates with the potential to stabilize disilynes having a formal Si Si triple bond. When and by what synthetic route this challenge for experimental chemistry will be realized is a question that only time can answer. 

ATP is again a bit more reliable as it is based on inventory, which is a function of the schedule or commitment to production. To handle the discretion applied to most demand, ATP relies foremost on what the system says is in inventory or stock buffers within the limits of the master schedule and not the flexible capacity of CTP. The problems with ATP are associated with the commitments or process difficulties. Externally, this implies that there is a potential problem with understanding the commitment of the buyer and matching it with the commitment to produce. The greater the uncertainty between the two factors, the more inventory or production is required for the producer. Internally, the ability of a company to promise from a schedule is quantified in classical measures inventory, bills of material, routing and master schedule accuracy. Again, it is inventory that is required to compensate for the lack of ability in these matters in order to keep promises. To measure the level of commitment or the ability the firm has for keeping its scheduled promises, you need only to look at the quality of its processes from which those promises are made.
