We are doing exactly that. Designers plan the specifications and the purchaser only buys the products according to the specifications.
What do you do in your design reviews? We call up a meeting and the attendees are project manager, design manager, designer and quality engineer. We take the drawings and we have a check list. We go through the list and review the drawings according to the list. We make the markings to the drawings and the designer makes the corrections. Then we have a follow-up. The design review in our organization is for making sure the plans are correct, then we give the BOM's etc. to purchasing. Ideas how to make this different/more effective?
BTW, this is a great site, engineers helping each others!
