Critiquing a Production-Focused Economic Model

An economist proposes a model for a country's economy that focuses exclusively on maximizing the total quantity of goods produced. The model's primary assumption is that increasing total production automatically improves the well-being of the entire society. Based on the viewpoint that economics must also analyze the struggles over how goods are divided, what is the most significant flaw in this economist's model? Justify your critique by explaining what crucial economic activities and outcomes the model fails to consider.
