To the best of my knowledge, CI is a figure that dispatch will put on a flight plan which you input into the fms. It is a calculation for the most efficient routing. Takes into account Aircraft weight/crew costs/fuel burn/trip time/route.

Values are
CI=0 = Max Range
CI=999 = Max Speed

Hope it helps.
