Abstract The series production of the superconducting accelerator modules for the European XFEL requires a production rate of one module per week. For this, assembly procedures have to be well-defined and repeatable, and the punctual supply of parts from the contributing institutes has to be assured. Configuration management (CM) has been introduced for clarification of responsibilities and establishing procedures. CM provides unique identification of parts, part status and location tracking, versioning of documentation, and procedures for change control, auditing and handling non-conformities. The configuration database, which is based on DESY’s Engineering Data Management System, contains the entire information which is necessary for assembling the accelerator modules. The content ranges from work instructions how to build a cryomodule up to individual records of all produced parts. Workflow and reports help tracking production progress and establishing production quality. The presentation gives an overview of the CM solution which is in place for the assembly of the XFEL accelerator modules, and reports experience and lessons learned from series production of the first modules.
