To find the maximum number of panels that can be constructed each day on the assembly line, we first need to understand the relationship between the number of employees, the time it takes to build each panel, and the capacity for production.

Given that there are 30 employees working on the assembly line, we need to evaluate how many panels can be produced within the constraints of time. Each panel takes 3 days to be fully constructed; hence the production is not instantaneous but rather spans a period of days.

In terms of overall daily output, if we assume a continuous workflow and uniform production rate, we can divide the work across the available employees. Thus, if one panel requires 3 days to complete and needs to be worked on by all 30 employees simultaneously, we can consider the work distribution:

Each employee can contribute to the assembly of one panel over those 3 days. To simplify this, let’s consider that during these 3 days, each employee effectively works on 1/3 of a panel per day.

Over the course of 3 days, 30 employees can collectively work on:

\[

30 \text{ employees} \times 1/3 \text{ panel per day} = 10 \text{ panels in
