	In this paper we report on the capability of Ettore Zanon S.p.A. (EZ) to implement a EXFEL 1,3 GHz SRF cavities production system. In order to assure the series efficient repeatability of the product, this system is based on work team, composed of people with different skills, qualified infrastructures and technical procedures. A detailed study of the different work phases of the production cycle has been performed in advance, highlighting the technical difficulties and the production constraints. Based on this result, infrastructures and processes have been optimized to grant the specified quality and time/cost requirements and procedures and operating instructions, where the most complexes and delicate phases as well as the responsibilities and acceptance criteria are investigated, have been introduced. Qualification operations and eight pre-series cavities have proven EZ capability of fulfilling the imposed requirements. The above described manufacturing system allows nowadays a production rate of 4 cavities per week. EZ future developments involve minimizing time and costs while keeping the highest quality standard.
