Three reasons a price-based system works more efficiently than central planning are flexibility, a larger selection of goods, and resources are used entirely.

Price based systems are more efficient because the demand from a product determines its price. Only enough product is produces that the market demands. Excess surpluses are not generated in a price based system.
