Se trata de la presentación de una empresa. Por lógica diría que se refiere a que entre todos los componentes del equipo de la empresa reúnen más de 140 años de experiencia. Éste es el contexto:

años-humanos / experiencia humana
Si la idea es hacer un juego de palabras con años luz, se me ocurre esta opción para que no sea tan masculino:
...nuestro equipo suma cerca de 140 años-humanos de experiencia...
Si se trata de poner énfasis en la cantidad de años en términos de experiencia, diría:
...nuestro equipo cuanta con 140 años de experiencia humana conjugada...
...nuestro equipo suma cerca de 140 años-humanos de experiencia...

| Hola Daniela. Agradezco tu aportación pero no veo que las explicaciones de Carlos y Christian hablen de costes. Al parecer éste es un concepto estándar ya definido y que se refiere, como dice Carlos al "trabajo realizado por una persona en un año". Gracias de todos modos por colaborar. ¡Saludos! |

Man year es una unidad de medida:la productividad/rendimiento anual. Como creo que no es posible una traducción literal, te propongo sacar la cuenta y calcular el resultado en años. Así:
1 man-year= 2000 horas
140 man-years= 280000 horas
280000 /24 = 11666.666 días
111666.666 / 365 = 31.96 años
2,000 hours is equivalent to one (1) man-year.
