AbstractThe state of development of foundry technology in Indonesia is very low. The existing found.des have very limited capacity to produce high quality foundry products for the potential of a growing market demand. To come up to a industrialized counb.ies levet the foundry indusb.y needs some specific technology imp1·ovement. 1his study aims to assess the technology status in selected foundry plants of Indonesia by type fjoint venture and domestic firm) and by business line (specialization and jobbing foundry), and in terms of technology components, technology capabilities and technology climate. In this study, a product and process technology interfaces model taken from existing literatw:e is applied to assess the technology capabilities in selected foundry plants. The model measures six levels of different technology capabilities (transforming, vending, acquiring, modifying, designing, generating) taking into account the existence of p1·oduct and process technologies in foundiy plant, namely, design of patterns, selection of mate1ials, failure analysis, standai·d application, pattern makin& melting process, fettling and heat-b.·eabnent process. Around fifty elements of technology capabilities involved in foundiy industry wei·e measured by using this model. Rega1·ding technology climate, this study identified a numbei· of factors that specifically affect the foundry indusb.y.
