I disagree that SOP is a 'technical term' or even a 'unique' thing. What's technical or unique about it? Nothing to my mind.
A Standard Operating Procedure is, as Peter points out, a type of procedure. Adding 'Standard Operating' to the start of that just adds words - after all, don't we want or expect people to follow procedures in any case? Not to mention the unpleasant SOP acronym! I suspect this may well be more 'technical' and 'unique' in particular environments - perhaps particularly the automative manufacturing ones you appear to be very familiar with. Many of my clients would sooner die than have things called 'SOPs' to contend with - well not die, perhaps, but they don't like the term and don't want it.
You haven't offered any convincing argument here - clearly you prefer them all to be Very Different Things. Fine - go right ahead. But I doubt the rest of the world will follow or agree.
