Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the business process modeling and simulation of a textile supply chain using Colored Petri nets. Our model takes into account both the source process and delivery logistics that exist between any two members of supply chain; moreover, we model other activities performed by the company such as manufacturing clothing. The model has been built to acquire a better understanding about the behavior of a textile company in the fulfillment of requests from costumers. The model has been built using CPN Tools. This model was built with modules for activities of the supply chain textile, e.g. receiving orders of customers, determination of production plan, procurement raw material, transportation of raw material, production and delivering products to customers. This modularized model offers some advantages to represent complex supply chains according to their structure and requirements. Thus, we can add modules easily depending on the necessary activities.
Highlights
The global competitive business environment and advances in information technology have forced enterprises to look for efficiencies in their internal operations as well as in coordinated operations with their suppliers and customers

Summary
The global competitive business environment and advances in information technology have forced enterprises to look for efficiencies in their internal operations as well as in coordinated operations with their suppliers and customers. Careful management of supply chain is required in order to reduce lead times and reach quick response, highlighting the need to use an approach such as agility [4] In this field, Colored Petri Nets are a valuable tool to build a model of textile supply chain because they give the flexibility in the specification of the supply chain configuration. The innovation of this paper is to show a model built with modular Coloured Petri Nets This model was built with modules for activities of the supply chain textile, e.g. receiving orders of customers, determination of production plan, procurement raw material, transportation of raw material, production and delivering products to customers. This paper shows the business process modeling and simulation of a textile supply chain using Colored Petri nets. SCM is the integration of key business processes from end user through original suppliers that provides products, services, and information that add value for customers and others stakeholders [5]
