    The objective of the implementation of the principles of quality management within companies is to increase competitiveness, through the quality of products and services, and consequently, to improve overall performance. Thus, this article aims to study the impact of customer orientation on the performance of Moroccan industrial companies. Thus, to conduct this study, we are identified on Moroccan industrial companies certified ISO 9000 and 9004, and our study has scope on a sample of 70 respondents working in positions of responsibility in these companies. The methodology pursued consists of using a quantitative method, through the questionnaire survey. The results confirmed that the implementation of practices based on the principle of customer orientation has a strong positive impact on performance indicators. The main suggestion retained is that the performance of industrial companies can be improved by adopting all the principles of quality management.   Keywords: quality, quality management, customer orientation, company performance, industrial companies in Morocco. JEL Classification: L25, J 53 Type of article: empirical research  L’objectif de la mise en Ĺ“uvre des principes du management de la qualitĂ© au sein des entreprises est l’augmentation de la compĂ©titivitĂ©, par le biais de la qualitĂ© des produits et services, et par consĂ©quent, l’amĂ©lioration de la performance globale. Ainsi, cet article se fixe pour objectif l’étude de l’impact de l’orientation client sur la performance des entreprises industrielles marocaines.

    The Design of FluxML: A Universal Modeling Language for 13C Metabolic Flux Analysis

    13C metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is the method of choice when a detailed inference of intracellular metabolic fluxes in living organisms under metabolic quasi-steady state conditions is desired. Being continuously developed since two decades, the technology made major contributions to the quantitative characterization of organisms in all fields of biotechnology and health-related research. 13C MFA, however, stands out from other “-omics sciences,” in that it requires not only experimental-analytical data, but also mathematical models and a computational toolset to infer the quantities of interest, i.e., the metabolic fluxes. At present, these models cannot be conveniently exchanged between different labs. Here, we present the implementation-independent model description language FluxML for specifying 13C MFA models. The core of FluxML captures the metabolic reaction network together with atom mappings, constraints on the model parameters, and the wealth of data configurations. In particular, we describe the governing design processes that shaped the FluxML language. We demonstrate the utility of FluxML to represent many contemporary experimental-analytical requirements in the field of 13C MFA. The major aim of FluxML is to offer a sound, open, and future-proof language to unambiguously express and conserve all the necessary information for model re-use, exchange, and comparison. Along with FluxML, several powerful computational tools are supplied for easy handling, but also to maintain a maximum of flexibility. Altogether, the FluxML collection is an “all-around carefree package” for 13C MFA modelers. We believe that FluxML improves scientific productivity as well as transparency and therewith contributes to the efficiency and reproducibility of computational modeling efforts in the field of 13C MFA

    L'objectif de l'implication organisationnelle des cadres est gĂ©nĂ©ralement centrĂ© sur le dĂ©veloppement d'un lien fort et positif entre les cadres et leur organisation. Il vise Ă  cultiver un engagement actif et une connexion Ă©motionnelle des cadres envers les objectifs, les valeurs et les activitĂ©s de l'entreprise. Ainsi, cet article se fixe pour objectif l’étude de l’impact de l’implication organisationnelle sur la Performance Financière des entreprises de textiles marocaines. Ainsi, pour mener cette Ă©tude, nous sommes cernĂ©s sur les entreprises de textiles marocaines installĂ©es dans la rĂ©gion de Fès-Meknès, et notre Ă©tude Ă  portĂ©e sur un Ă©chantillon de 36 enquĂŞtĂ©s fonctionnants Ă  des postes de responsabilitĂ©s dans ces entreprises. La mĂ©thodologie poursuivie consiste Ă  utiliser une mĂ©thode quantitative, par le biais de l’enquĂŞte par questionnaire.  Les rĂ©sultats de notre Ă©tude ont confirmĂ© une corrĂ©lation positive entre l'implication normative des cadres dirigeants et la performance financière, tandis que cette corrĂ©lation n'est pas significative pour les dimensions affective et calculĂ©e de l'implication. La principale suggestion retenue est que la performance financière des entreprises de textiles peut ĂŞtre amĂ©liorĂ©e par l’adoption de l’ensemble des dimensions de l’implication organisationnelle
