What is one likely disadvantage of the centralized economic planning used in a command economy?

In a command economy, planners decide what and how much to produce. If they misjudge people’s needs or available resources, they may set production too low, causing shortages of goods and supplies. This makes “a shortage of supplies resulting from an underproduction of goods” the likely disadvantage. Workers and production goals are generally assigned through the planning system, and subsidies are not necessarily lacking.
