	abstract="{The article presents the results of work on the use of the Taguchi method in the selection of optimal parameters of the water-abrasive cutting process, which significantly affect the research process, while allowing the user to omit those factors that have a negligible impact on the results. The Taguchi method is an approach that allows you to reduce the number of experimental trials carried out in order to obtain the intended final product. Unlike other approaches, the Taguchi method focuses on the consequences of quality loss. This means that each product in the process of use generates a specific loss, the amount of which is inversely proportional to the quality, which justifies adopting the decline in product quality with the increase in user losses as the main measure. The material used in the tests was Steel 18CrNiMo7-6. The material removal rate was found to vary directly with the feed rate and abrasive flow rate. Increasing the feed rate and abrasive flow increased the workpiece removal rate during waterjet cutting. The abrasive flow rate and feed speed had the greatest influence on the roughness. It has been shown that the Taguchi method can be used both to optimize a new product or process, as well as to improve existing ones. Taguchi aims primarily to achieve material quality and simplicity of calculations.}",
