Abstract
The Tilecal is the barrel hadron calorimeter of ATLAS. An extensive R&D program was carried out in the last years and three full size prototype modules were produced and tested from 1996 to 1998. Following ATLAS internal reviews, the construction of the calorimeter started in 1998 and about 30% of the modules of the calorimeter are already constructed. We report on the experience on the mass production of the optical components and modules of the tile calorimeter
