full power of substitution, as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-
fact (each, individually, an "Attorney-in-Fact" and collectively, the
"Attorneys-in-Fact") to:

      (1)   execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as a director of NN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations of
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder;

      (2)   do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned

and executing any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely filing any such
form with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar regulatory authority; and

      (3)   take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such Attorney-in-Fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such Attorney-in-Fact may approve in such
Attorney-in- Fact's discretion.

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such Attorney-in-Fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,

be executed as of this 4th day of May, 2016.
