RE: Document Approval Authority for Vendors Manufacturing.

Clearly, direct handoff of a signed document to a vendor's engineer is not part of the normal/expected document flow at your outfit.

That document flow should be documented somewhere; ask someone.

If a formal document flow map does not exist, you should at least start mapping what it should look like in the vicinity of your own desk. You don't need to publish it, but you need to write it down and keep it for your own use, and use it religiously.
