We have this document that describes the design procedures/calculations

Supply is built, component choice, derating, functional description,
test results etc.

We call this specification either "SMPS Design Journal" or "SMPS
Construction Journal"

But what is the best title in your oppinion or is there a better one?

"Journal" implies periodical publication, in customary English usage -
derived from the French for "daily", or "newspaper"

"Construction" applies more to assembly than to design.

Hence I would suggest " SMPS Design Manual", or "SMPS Design Handbook"


With further clarification that "Manual" implies descriptions of a
particular SMPS or line of SMPS's, for which then you should presumably
have a model number or range of model numbers;

"Handbook" implies explanation of principles of design for SMPS's in
general or SMPS's of a particular type, which then would not be limited
to a particular SMPS or line of SMPS's.
