Project focus in Supply Chain Business Function

People keep asking me which project to focus in the supply chain business function in the current economic tough times.
My belief is that this is the wrong attitude and no matter how backward and tightfisted senior management and finance group are, if you can identify for them in straight forward terms a specific and achievable logistics & supply chain project with real benefits there may be light at the end of the tunnel.
The question then becomes which project should I examine and propose? Here are few areas to look into:

1. Strategic Network Modeling
2. Operational Benchmarking
3. Inventory Optimization
4. Spend Analysis
5. Supply Chain Visibility
6. Score carding
7. Global Data Synchronization
8. Supply Chain Network Collaboration
9. RFID Technology Process Improvement
10. Carbon Footprint Modeling & Reduction
