Claim One:
1. A method for cognitive press-fit force analysis, the method comprising: retrieving, by one or more computer processors, press-fit data associated with a press-fit machine and based on a press cycle; calculating, by one or more computer processors, a deformation force of the press cycle based on the press-fit data, wherein determining the deformation force is based on 
 NBPSL (n) =n (NBP) −n (ref) ) wherein n (ref) is an index of a reference deformation force data point; n (NBP) is an index of a subsequent deformation force data point with a greater deformation force; and NBPSL (n) is a difference in the index of the subsequent deformation force data point and the reference deformation force data point; and determining a maximum deformation force comprises: storing a plurality of NBPSL values and the index of the reference deformation force data point; determining a maximum NBPSL value; and retrieving the maximum deformation force based on the index of the reference deformation force data point associated with the maximum NBPSL value; and storing the deformation force in a database further comprises at least one of pre-defined specifications of a press force, a predictive control model, a PCB (printed circuit board) lot parameter, a data parameter from a connector lot, a work order for a warehouse inventory station or a message associated with alerting a downstream process; creating, by one or more computer processors, the predictive control model based on the deformation force, further comprises: receiving, by the one or more computer processors, at least one of a raw material quality data, a machine setting data, or a completed lot quality data wherein the raw material quality data further comprises at least one of a PCB lot parameter, a data parameter from a connector lot, a compliant pin connector data; wherein the machine setting data further comprises the press-fit data; and wherein the completed lot quality data further comprises at least one of cumulative summary statistics data, an ECAT (electronic card assembly and test) press force trend, a PCB fabrication process trend or a compliant pin connector fabrication process trend; and updating, by the one or more computer processors, the predictive control model based on at least one of the raw material quality data, the machine setting data, or the completed lot quality data; determining, by one or more computer processors, if a corrective action is required based on at least one of the raw material quality data, the machine setting data, the completed lot quality data or the predictive control model where determining the correction action further comprises: sending, by the one or more computer processors, an optimal press force setting towards the press-fit machine; and sending, by the one or more computer processors, a failure analysis information towards a quality inspection station based on at least one of the predictive control model or the completed lot quality data; responsive to determining the corrective action is required, alerting, by one or more computer processors, the downstream process to take the corrective action, further comprises of sending a message to at least one of a PCB fabrication station, a PCB quality team, a connector quality team or a connector fabrication station; scheduling, by one or more computer processors, a material kitting based on at least one of the raw material quality data, the machine setting data, the completed lot quality data or the predictive control model, further comprises: receiving, by the one or more computer processors, at least one of PCB requirements data or connector requirements data; comparing, by the one or more computer processors, at least one of the PCB requirements data or the connector requirements data against raw material inventory data; responsive to the comparing, determining, by the one or more computer processors, a connector lot identification and a PCB lot identification based on an optimal matching data set; and responsive to determining the connector lot identification and the PCB lot identification, generating, by the one or more computer processors, the work order based on the connector lot identification and the PCB lot identification and sending the work order towards a warehouse inventory station.
