composants varchar2(2)

'aluminium'

Clearly the fourth element 'aluminium' you are trying to insert into composants attribute, is larger than 2 characters/bytes as the size of data type is VARCHAR2(2). Increase the size of composants so that it can store the element.

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE societe AS OBJECT (
    nom_societe     VARCHAR2(20),
    ville_societe   VARCHAR2(20)
)
/

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE produit AS OBJECT (
    nom          VARCHAR2(20),
    poids        NUMBER(9),
    couleur      VARCHAR2(20),
    composants   VARCHAR2(20)
)
/

CREATE TABLE commande (
    numero            NUMBER(9),
    date_soumission   DATE,
    date_envoi        DATE,
    society           societe,
    product           produit
);

Now you can insert in following way:

INSERT INTO commande (
    numero,
    date_soumission,
    date_envoi,
    society,
    product
) VALUES (
    1,
    TO_DATE('2013/03/11', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
    TO_DATE('2014/05/12', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
    societe('BME', 'FES'),
    produit('prod1', 12, 'noir', 'aluminium')
);

You can check the data inserted:

SELECT * FROM commande;

NUMERO DATE_SOU DATE_ENV SOCIETY(NOM_SOCIETE,  PRODUCT(NOM, POIDS, COULEUR, COMPOSANTS) 
------ -------- -------- --------------------- -----------------------------------------
     1 11-03-13 12-05-14 SOCIETE('BME', 'FES') PRODUIT('prod1', 12, 'noir', 'aluminium')
