Nowadays, the incremental use of component-based simulation presents a new challenge to overcome. So, the researchers and software developers are putting attention to solve problems as interoperability and reuse of components. In the supply chain context, this simulation paradigm is very valuable because allows us to develop independent models and then interconnect them using middleware software such as HLA, CORBA among other. However, the interoperability of these simulation components is a mayor problem to overcome. In this paper, we present an environment to analyze supply chain using this paradigm. We propose to use the SCOR model as roles that the component can play in conjunction with an Ontology base on SCOR. The modules are developed using DEVS formalism and HLA as middleware.
