Essentially, planned economic systems don't exist in real life (with a few notable exceptions, including North Korea) for two reasons:

1) To create a planned economic system is very complicated due to information centralisation, and would be very costly to maintain and implement. This serves as a barrier to making a planned system in the first instance.

2) Planned systems suffer from extraordinary economic inefficiencies due to incredible distortion of market signals, which normally allow individuals to make efficient good allocations and schedules. The organiser of the planned economy has to try and overcome this by perfectly predicting market equilibria and enforcing production quotas to maintain them. However, there is no incentive to follow quotas but force, since there is no reward from production.
