    How about :
    We have to find out the optimal method [for this problem]...
    We have to find out a method which optimises this work...

    Thanks for your suggestion, but in my above sentence we should eliminate the word so that, right? If we prefer using the idiom "to the best advantage".

    We have to find out some good method by which we can do this work (so that) to the best advantage.

    "Do this work" gives 211 000 results on google search (45000 for "do a work"), so maybe it's not very common in english writing IMHO...
    so, my suggestion is to blow away the "so that"

    - We have to find out some good methods by which we can do this work at the best advantage.

    Otherwise :
    - We have to find out some good methods which allow/help us to get the best advantage/results on this work.
    Just my 2 cents

    Thank Xtiano so much!
    Now i think, we don't use "so that" because after this word a sentence must be used. Thus the rewrite can be like this:
    We have to find out some good method by which we can do this work to the best advantage.

    To the best advantage is an E idiom.
    some good method is different from some good methods
    Some good method = Cách thức tốt nào đó.
    Some good methods = Một vài cách thức tốt.

    How about:

    We must find a way (method) to accomplish the task (job, work) with a great benefit to us.


    We must find a working process (procedure) to bring in the best advantage.

    We have to find a method to get the job done with the best fruit of our labor.

    We should find a way to do this so that it is of the best use

    Hmm, none of the above sentences reads very smoothly. The sentence would be easier to translate if there were some context. But in its absence, I suggest:

    'We need to find a way to do this job to get the best results.'

    'Result' is also possible here. It depends on the nature of the work to be done and on the speaker's view of it.
