Post Jet Climb

Greetings,

For jet operations I understand that the crew punch in a Cost Index into the FMC which in turn considers other factors and determines optimum levels etc. Question is does it also compute the best climb speed or is this a function of weight and how does a reduced power climb affect overall trip fuel?

HELP
