Optimization tools and methods are a set of approaches, techniques, and software tools used to improve mechanisms in order to achieve the best result under given constraints.

Methods:
An HR audit is a comprehensive check of processes, regulations, document flow, compliance with legal requirements. During the audit, bottlenecks, duplicated functions, ineffective elements of mechanisms are identified. The result is a step-by-step plan for developing HR functions and reducing costs.
KPI is a method based on measuring results. Examples of KPI: average time to close a vacancy, percentage of completion of the probationary period, employee satisfaction. This principle helps to objectively evaluate the work of departments.
