#### Abstract

In this study, we propose definitions for the one-sided variance for asymmetric distribution. We consider to apply the one-sided variance to the construction to define modified $C_{pk}$, which is a definition for the process capability index for the asymmetric process distribution. Then we consider to obtain the consistent estimation for the one-sided variance and to apply to the various industrial fields.
