Narrative:
Reporter states: cylinder baked for 6 hours instead of the 12 hours it required. Supervisor instructed the crew to bake part for 6 hours. The authority/authorized requires a 12 hour bake. Confusion in shop due to re-write of the work sheets utilized for process authority/authorized; engineering is currently merging sheet information into the program.
