Calculating Drift down after Engine failure

As an acedemic exercise I was trying to discover how drift downs are calculated after engine failures, particularly B744, B777-200 and A330, A340-300.

Do the manufacturers produce tables for a given AUW, or in the event of multi engine failure do crews just descend until they can maintain height and speed ?

Any info welcome.
