You can apply the same principles, but you have to adjust the time coefficients to fit the realities of the supplier.

I guess if you account T = 18 months, JIT can still apply.

This is correct. Every type of suppler has different adjustment time based on their own systems. Tooling & upfront design is actually common in a lot of industries, chips just have extreme tooling & upfront design requirements.
