Technology Assessment with Technometric Model in Small and Medium Industries: A Case Study at Traditional Textile “Kain Tenun Endek & Gringsing” Bali

Technology is one of the most important factors in the industry. Technology has a vital role to survive and compete with competitors so that industries can keep their sustainability. Technology is defined as knowledge, products, processes, tools, methods, and systems used in the manufacture of goods or services needed by humans. Technology consists of four components, technoware, humanware, infoware, and orgaware. Technology is also an important factor in the process of innovation in various industries including small and medium industries in Bali as well as the creative weaving industry. By knowing the current technological position of the industry, they can innovate to determine the strategy that will be carried out to achieve their competitive advantage. This study aims to measure the four components of technology in the small and medium industry (SMI) of the traditional woven textile industry (pertenunan) in Bali which produces "kain tenun endek" and "kain tenun gringsing". The results of this study will show the technological position of each SMI and determine the technology components that can be improved.
