The word is made up of 'Arbeit' (work) and 'Weise' (way), connected by an 's'. Here, 'Weise' means 'way' or 'method'. Literally, it is the 'way of working'.

To describe an 'Arbeitsweise' (work method), adjectives such as 'effizient' (efficient), 'strukturiert' (structured), 'flexibel' (flexible), 'kreativ' (creative), or even 'chaotisch' (chaotic) are often used.
Dank ihrer strukturierten Arbeitsweise erledigt sie ihre Aufgaben sehr schnell.
Thanks to her structured work method, she completes her tasks very quickly.
In connection with 'Arbeitsweise' (work method), verbs are often used that describe a change or analysis, for example 'die Arbeitsweise verbessern' (to improve the work method), 'optimieren' (to optimize), 'analysieren' (to analyze), or 'ändern' (to change).

method
'die Methode' and 'die Arbeitsweise' can both describe how something is done. 'Methode' refers more to a planned procedure that you consciously choose in order to reach a goal. 'Arbeitsweise' describes more the style or way in which a person, a group, or even a machine works. A method can be part of a work method. When you are talking about a specific procedure, 'Methode' is more precise. When you are talking about habits, pace, organization, or the general style of working, 'Arbeitsweise' fits better.
