You're indicating a 'blueprint'-type approach to economic modeling, in which all inputs and outputs would have to be linearly predetermined and locked-in before a single gear could turn.
And, politically, you're thinking of a Stalinist-type elitist state bureaucracy, which *isn't* the goal of socialism / communism.
Yes, something *like* this would probably be needed / used in the 'transitional' period of repressing and overthrowing bourgeois class rule, but my own position is that ultimately all decision-making could be sheerly bottom-up, on a per-item basis, as seen in that 'Emergent Central Planning' diagram.
The actual participating liberated laborers would be the ones to collectively decide what gets produced, or not, since it's their own labor power at stake, and human need (consumption) could be mass-subjectively determined with a daily individually-ranked 'demands' list, aggregated locally and/or over any combined geographic areas, by mutual consent.
Here's from my labor credits FAQ:
[A]ggregating these lists, by ranking (#1, #2, #3, etc.), is *no big deal* for any given computer.
-> What would the institution *look* like -- the one that aggregates these mass demands for the locality from individuals' daily demands?

I've considered that, in the interests of no-institutions and full transparency, the hardware itself could even be replaced on a daily basis with *brand-new* hardware (a regular PC), and those who are so interested could participate in installing the Linux operating system (OS) onto the computer (in an open, public space), then installing the 'sorting' open-source software (compiled fresh from the source code), and putting that PC into service for just that one day. There could also be observers in-person, and live video feeds of this daily process broadcast out over the Internet, with cameras and video feeds remaining pointed at the machine itself over the course of the day so that people can see both in-person and remotely exactly what's going on with this automatic-centralized process of information aggregation and distribution.
The database used could be made up of these fields:
