%X The right-on-time distribution of goods to the end-users plays an important role in nowadays competitive market. Companies intend to find the balance between organizational cost and environmental footprint, which is a challenging practice, as these objectives are usually conflicting. In this context, from a practical point, managers are willing to find a good compromise solution to both satisfy economic and environmental goals while they need to make sure that the products are delivered right-on-time to the demand point, thereby reducing inventory costs. This study aims to research the inter-relationship between holding inventory at warehouses and retailers to satisfy the demand right-on-time, and its impact on costs and carbon emissions. Three echelon distribution network consisting of manufacturers, warehouses and retailers is developed and three objectives; i.e., total distribution and manufacturing cost, total carbon emission associated with storing and handling of goods at warehouses and retailers, and the sum of backordered goods from retailers and surpluses of goods at retailers, are considered. The developed model decides the quantity of products transported from factories to warehouses and from there, to retailers to satisfy the demand realized at retailers. The model also decides the sizes of factories and warehouses to be opened. To solve this multi-objective, green supply chain involving Just-in-time distribution, we applied fuzzy weighted additive model developed by Tiwari ve di£¿. (1987). From a practical point of view, this method offers a great tool for managers and practitioners as it optimizes multiple objectives simultaneously. This method allows the managers to adjust the relative importance ratios for each objective function, which also helps the managers to truly manage the network performance measures
