 The task to which the paper is devoted is to apply the above methods for evaluating the the efficiency of the organizational management structure by the example of a transport company.
 The research method is the author's technique for determining the level of organization efficiency of a transport company and evaluating the effectiveness of potential organizational changes, consisting of five stages. The analysis includes numerical simulation of organization models behavior presented as systems of interacting agents. Efficiency indicators of standard models and an operating transport company are assessed in order to determine the type of better management structure. The level of adaptability of employees and its impact on the efficiency of the company is determined. Then several types of modifications of intra-organizational relationships are modeled, including the introduction of elements of the hierarchical structure, the position of a communication broker, an increase in the number of connections at one management level, and some others.
