<p>For example, the Chief of the Foundry grants +1/+1 to other artifact creatures I control. If I have two copies of Chief of the Foundry in play, does that mean all other artifact creatures I control get +2/+2 and do they then grant each other +1/+1 since they are "other" artifact creatures?</p>

You are correct in your interpretation. Each static ability is separately applied from each other, so they stack.
