Abstract: 

In this article, we introduce a skewed version of the non-central sinh-normal distribution and discuss some of its properties. In addition, the associated Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is characterized from a probabilistic viewpoint along with a reliability analysis. Finally, the proposed model is fitted to a lifetime data in order to illustrate its usefulness.
